Filling hash of multi-dimensional arrays in perl
Given three scalars, what is the perl syntax to fill a hash in which one of the scalars is the key, another determines which of two arrays is filled, and the third is appended to one of the arrays? For example:
my $weekday = "Monday";
my $kind = "Good";
my $event = "Birthday";
and given only the scalars and not their particular values, obtained inside a loop, I want a hash like:
my %Weekdays = {
'Monday' => [
["Birthday", "Holiday"], # The Good array
["Exam", "Workday"] # The Bad array
]
'Saturday' => [
["RoadTrip", "Concert", "Movie"],
["Yardwork", "VisitMIL"]
]
}
I know how to append a value to an array in a hash, such as if the key is a single array:
push( @{ $Weekdays{$weekday} }, $event);
Used in a loop, that could give me:
%Weekdays = {
'Monday' => [
'Birthday',
'Holiday',
'Exam',
'Workday'
]
}
I suppose the hash key is the particular weekday, and the value should be a two dimensional array. I don't know the perl syntax to, say, push Birthday 开发者_C百科into the hash as element [0][0] of the weekday array, and the next time through the loop, push another event in as [0][1] or [1][0]. Similarly, I don't know the syntax to access same.
Using your variables, I'd write it like this:
push @{ $Weekdays{ $weekday }[ $kind eq 'Good' ? 0 : 1 ] }, $event;
However, I'd probably just make the Good/Bad specifiers keys as well. And given my druthers:
use autobox::Core;
( $Weekdays{ $weekday }{ $kind } ||= [] )->push( $event );
Note that the way I've written it here, neither expression cares whether or not an array exists before we start.
Is there some reason that
push @{ $Weekdays{Monday}[0] }, "whatever";
isn’t working for you?
