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.
