You could come pretty close to the amount of code written here if you were using C++ STL (std::map and algorithms)
Glad to hear C++ doesn't have to be brain-dead. :)
Your PERLy implementation is -not- the same though ... you are using a hash! nota linked list. :)
Indeed, sir. My Perl goal was to produce the end result, regardless of methodology.
The intent of this assignment, I presume (hope?), is to help you understand how much libraries (such as the STL) help ... when you get there in future classes. :)
Ahh, I see. From the "we promise it will feel really good when you stop slamming your forehead with that 2x4 department." Classic.
Happy New Year!
You too! So far so good. :) j
