00.01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Hash in Perl. |
00.05 | In this tutorial, we will learn about; |
00.09 | Hash in Perl and |
00.11 | Accessing element of a hash |
00.14 | For this tutorial, I am using |
00.16 | Ubuntu Linux12.04 operating system |
00.21 | Perl 5.14.2 and |
00.24 | gedit Text Editor |
00.26 | You can use any text editor of your choice. |
00.30 | To practise this tutorial, you should have knowledge of Variables & Data Structures in Perl. |
00.38 | Knowledge of comments, loops, conditional statements and Arrays will be an added advantage. |
00.46 | Please go through the relevant spoken tutorials on the spoken tutorial website. |
00.52 | Hash is an unordered collection of data |
00.56 | It's a key/value pair data structure |
00.59 | Hash keys are unique |
01.01 | However, Hash can have duplicate values |
01.05 | This is the declaration of a hash . |
01.08 | Let us see how to get the value of a key from hash. |
01.12 | The syntax for accessing the value of a key is |
01.17 | dollar hashName open curly bracket single quote keyName single quote close curly bracket |
01.26 | Let us understand hash using a sample program. |
01.31 | I have already typed the code in perlHash dot pl file in gedit. |
01.37 | Type the code as shown in your perlHash dot pl file. |
01.42 | Hash in Perl is declared with percentage sign. |
01.47 | These are the keys of hash. |
01.49 | And these are the values of hash. |
01.53 | Note: To access key of hash, one has to use dollar sign. |
01.59 | Press Ctrl + S to save the file. |
02.02 | Then switch to terminal and execute the Perl script as |
02.08 | perl perlHash dot pl |
02.11 | and press Enter. |
02.14 | The output is as shown on the terminal. |
02.19 | Now let us see add and delete of keys from hash. |
02.24 | The syntax for . |
02.26 | adding key is dollar hashName open curly bracket |
02.30 | single quote KeyName single quote |
02.34 | close curly bracket equal to $value semicolon |
02.40 | deleting key is delete dollar hashName open curly bracket |
02.46 | single quote KeyName single quote close curly bracket semicolon |
02.53 | Now, let us understand this using a sample program. |
02.58 | I have already typed the code in hashKeyOperations dot pl file. |
03.05 | This is the declaration of hash. |
03.08 | We'll be adding, deleting the keys from this hash. |
03.13 | Here we are adding a key to an already created hash. |
03.18 | It is like assigning a value to a variable. |
03.23 | delete keyword is used to delete the key. |
03.27 | We need to pass the key to delete it. |
03.31 | Press Ctrl+S to save the file. |
03.35 | Switch to the terminal and execute the Perl script as |
03.40 | perl hashKeyOperations dot pl |
03.44 | and press Enter. |
03.47 | Output will be as shown on the terminal. |
03.52 | Let us look at sorting of a hash keys and values. |
03.57 | Syntax to sort keys is |
04.00 | sort open bracket keys percentage hashName close bracket semicolon |
04.07 | Similarly, we can sort hash values as |
04.11 | sort open bracket values percentage hashName close bracket semicolon |
04.18 | Let us understand sorting functionality using a sample program. |
04.24 | Let me switch to sortHash dot pl on gedit. |
04.30 | Type the code as displayed on the screen in your sortHash dot pl file. |
04.36 | Here we have declared hash of address. |
04.41 | Here, to sort the keys we have used the sort inbuilt function, along with the keys function. |
04.49 | This will sort the hash keys in alphabetical order. |
04.54 | Similarly, we can use the sort function on values of hash. |
04.59 | Sorting can also be done on numeric keys and/or values. |
05.05 | Save the file and switch to terminal. |
05.09 | Execute the script by typing perl sortHash dot pl and Press Enter |
05.17 | The output will be as shown on the terminal. |
05.22 | Now, let us see how to get all keys and values of hash. |
05.27 | Perl provides inbuilt function to fetch all the hash keys and values. |
05.34 | keys function is used to retrive all the keys of hash |
05.40 | values function returns values of all the keys whereas |
05.46 | each function iterates over hash and returns key/value pair from hash |
05.53 | Let us understand these using a sample program. |
05.57 | For this, we'll use perlHash dot pl script, which we have created earlier in this tutorial. |
06.07 | Type the following piece of code as shown on the screen; |
06.12 | Let us understand the code now. |
06.15 | keys function on hash, returns an array which contains all keys of hash. |
06.22 | values function on hash returns an array of values for all keys of hash. |
06.30 | each function returns the key/value pair. |
06.34 | Here, we have used the while loop. |
06.36 | It will iterate over each key/value pair of hash, that is returned by each function. |
06.43 | Press Ctrl+S to save the file. |
06.48 | Now, let us execute the script on the terminal by typing |
06.53 | perl perlHash dot pl |
06.58 | And Press Enter |
07.01 | The following output will be seen on the terminal. |
07.05 | Now let us see few other ways of looping over hash. |
07.10 | We can use foreach loop to iterate over each key of hash. |
07.15 | Then perform a set of actions on the value of a key. |
07.20 | The syntax is as displayed on the screen. |
07.24 | Here, each iteration of foreach loop will assign key from hash to $variable. |
07.32 | Then it will use that $variable to fetch the value or to perform a set of actions. |
07.40 | Similarly, we can loop over hash values as shown on the screen. |
07.47 | We will look at sample program. |
07.49 | So, let me switch to loopingOverHash dot pl in gedit. |
07.55 | Type the following piece of code as shown in your loopingOverHash dot pl |
08.02 | This piece of code returns single key of hash. |
08.07 | Here in our case, |
08.09 | 1st time dollar key ($key) contains the Department as key. |
08.15 | In the next iteration of foreach, Name key is returned. |
08.21 | Note: Hash is an unordered collection of data. |
08.26 | So, keys returned will not be in the sequence defined at the time of creating hash. |
08.33 | The loop on values works in a similar way. |
08.38 | Press Ctrl + S to save the file. |
08.41 | Then, switch to terminal and execute the Perl script as |
08.46 | perl loopingOverHash dot pl |
08.50 | and press Enter. |
08.53 | The following output is displayed on the terminal. |
08.58 | Let us summarize. |
08.59 | In this tutorial, we learnt - |
09.01 | Hash in Perl and |
09.03 | Accessing elements of a hash |
09.05 | using sample programs. |
09.08 | Here is assignment for you - |
09.11 | Declare hash having student name as key |
09.15 | And his/her percentage as the value. |
09.18 | Loop over hash using keys, values and each function |
09.24 | Then print the percentage of each student. |
