Arrays and Hashes

Array Variable Assignment

• An array variable can be assigned a copy of an array literal.
• Example:
  

  @students = qw(Bob Autumn Mike Mona Dennis Kumar Ken Jerry);
  @primes = ( 1, 3, 5, 7, 11 ); 
  

• An array variable can be assigned a copy of another array variable.
• Example:
  

  @graduates = @students; # Graduates array now copy of students array
  

• An array variable can be assigned a single scalar. In this case the array becomes an array of one element, a copy of the specified scalar variable.
• Example:
  

  @Attendees = "Bob"; # Same as @Attendees = ("Bob");n
