Merging Arrays

Merging Arrays

Because an array is just a comma-separated sequence of values, you can combine them together as shown below:

#! /usr/bin/perl

@numbers = (1,3,(4,5,6));

print "numbers = @numbers\n";

This will produce following result:

numbers = 1 3 4 5 6

The embedded arrays just become part of the main array as shown below:

#!/usr/bin/perl

@odd = (1,3,5);

@even = (2, 4, 6);

@numbers = (@odd, @even);

print "numbers = @numbers\n";

This will produce following result:

numbers = 1 3 5 2 4 6
