Let’s Golf Thursday, May 3, 12
About Me • Ynon Perek • http://ynonperek.com • http://speakerdeck.com/u/ ynonperek
Thursday, May 3, 12
The Game A Competition to find the shortest — fewest
keystrokes perl code to solve a given problem Thursday, May 3, 12
The Rules • Count keystrokes (newlines matter) • No modules
• No external tools Thursday, May 3, 12
Why Golf ? Thursday, May 3, 12
Example: Head use strict; use warnings; use v5.14; my $counter
= 0; while (<>) { $counter += 1; print; last if $counter > 10; } Thursday, May 3, 12
We Can Do Better while (<>) { print; last if
$. > 10; } Thursday, May 3, 12
Yet a golfer would • Remember perl opts: -pe •
Remember range operator Thursday, May 3, 12
Yet a golfer would #!/usr/bin/perl -pe last if $. >
10 Thursday, May 3, 12
Yet a golfer would perl -pe '11..exit' Thursday, May 3,
12
And a true golfer... perl -pe '11..&' Thursday, May 3,
12
Some More Tricks • y///c Abigail’s length horror • $_
x= Larry’s boolean • }{ Abigail’s END for -pe • $\ Van-der Pijll print Thursday, May 3, 12
Challenge • Use previous tricks to print: • characters count
• words count • line count Thursday, May 3, 12
Challenge # Characters count perl -lpe '$\+=y///c}{' # Words count
perl -lpe '$\+=split}{' # Lines count perl -pe '$\=$.}{' Thursday, May 3, 12
Example: tail • Tail is harder, because we need to
remember previous lines • Can use an array Thursday, May 3, 12
Example: tail # tail using an array perl -e '@a=<>;print
@a[-10..-1]' Thursday, May 3, 12
Example: tail # Removing the array perl -e 'print ((<>)[-10..-1])'
Thursday, May 3, 12
Example: tail # Removing the array perl -e 'print ((<>)[-10..-1])'
Surprisingly, A true hacker can do better Thursday, May 3, 12
Example: tail # Recall the ~ perl -e 'print+(<>)[~9..-1]' Surprisingly,
A true hacker can do better Thursday, May 3, 12
Some More Tricks • $= Holds only int values. $==10/3
is the same as int(10/3) • $- Holds only positive values Thursday, May 3, 12
Example: $- perl -pe '$-=eval or&' 10+20 20+3 30-10 40-50
-5 1 4 5 Thursday, May 3, 12
Golf Classics • Find all anagrams in a word list.
• An anagram is two words made up of the same letters • Example: underflow - wonderful Thursday, May 3, 12
Anagrams #!/usr/bin/perl sub normalized { my ($word) = @_; my
@letters = split //, $word; return join '', sort @letters; } while (<>) { chomp; my $letters = normalized( $_ ); $words{ $letters } ||= []; push $words{ $letters }, $_; } print "@$_\n" for grep { @$_ > 1} values %words; Thursday, May 3, 12
Anagrams • Remove the sub • Prefer text over array-refs
• Prefer switches over code • Use short variable names Thursday, May 3, 12
Anagrams #!/usr/bin/perl -ln $w{ join '', sort split // }
.= "$_ "; }{ print for grep / ./, values %w; Thursday, May 3, 12
Anagrams • No need to join hash keys • Can
use regexp instead of split • Can use regexp instead of grep • Can use %h instead of values %h Thursday, May 3, 12
Anagrams #!/usr/bin/perl -ln $w{ 1, sort/./g } .= "$_ ";
}{/ ./&&print for %w; Thursday, May 3, 12
Golf Classic sub b{[@b=(abs||No,bottle."s"x!!++$_,of,beer),on,the,wall]} print "@{+b},\n@b,\nTake one down, pass it
around,\n@{+b}.\n" for-pop||-99..-1 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, Take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall. Thursday, May 3, 12
