Hi Sunita,
In Perl hash keys can contain undef, blank space or a tab. All these
entities are valid and as a result it will print the key/value pair for the
undef also.
For clarity I have added the values 'blank space' and a tab in your example
Example 1:
========
[code]
@array = ("abc", 123, "dfg" ,456, "xsd", undef, "xyz", " ", "ajk", " ");
%hash = reverse @array;
foreach $k (keys %hash) {
print "key [$k] value [$hash{$k}]\n" if defined $k; #Added square
brackets for readability in the output
}
[/code]
[output]
key [] value [xsd]
key [ ] value [xyz]
key [ ] value [ajk]
key [456] value [dfg]
key [123] value [abc]
[/output]
Example 2:
========
[code]
#Printing the hash in a single line
print "key $_ value $hash{$_}\n" foreach (keys %hash);
[/code]
[output]
key value xyz
key 123 value abc
key value xsd
key value ajk
key 456 value dfg
[/output]
Hope it helps.
