    NAME

    List::Util - A selection of general-utility list subroutines
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

        use List::Util qw(first max maxstr min minstr reduce shuffle sum);
    
    
     

    DESCRIPTION

    "List::Util" contains a selection of subroutines that people have expressed would be nice to have in the perl core, but the usage would not really be high enough to warrant the use of a keyword, and the size so small such that being individual extensions would be wasteful.

    By default "List::Util" does not export any subroutines. The subroutines defined are

    first BLOCK LIST
    Similar to "grep" in that it evaluates BLOCK setting $_ to each element of LIST in turn. "first" returns the first element where the result from BLOCK is a true value. If BLOCK never returns true or LIST was empty then "undef" is returned.

        $foo = first { defined($_) } @list    # first defined value in @list
        $foo = first { $_ > $value } @list    # first value in @list which
                                              # is greater than $value
    
    

    This function could be implemented using "reduce" like this

        $foo = reduce { defined($a) ? $a : wanted($b) ? $b : undef } undef, @list
    
    

    for example wanted() could be defined() which would return the first defined value in @list

    max LIST
    Returns the entry in the list with the highest numerical value. If the list is empty then "undef" is returned.

        $foo = max 1..10                # 10
        $foo = max 3,9,12               # 12
        $foo = max @bar, @baz           # whatever
    
    

    This function could be implemented using "reduce" like this

        $foo = reduce { $a > $b ? $a : $b } 1..10
    
    
    maxstr LIST
    Similar to "max", but treats all the entries in the list as strings and returns the highest string as defined by the "gt" operator. If the list is empty then "undef" is returned.

        $foo = maxstr 'A'..'Z'          # 'Z'
        $foo = maxstr "hello","world"   # "world"
        $foo = maxstr @bar, @baz        # whatever
    
    

    This function could be implemented using "reduce" like this

        $foo = reduce { $a gt $b ? $a : $b } 'A'..'Z'
    
    
    min LIST
    Similar to "max" but returns the entry in the list with the lowest numerical value. If the list is empty then "undef" is returned.

        $foo = min 1..10                # 1
        $foo = min 3,9,12               # 3
        $foo = min @bar, @baz           # whatever
    
    

    This function could be implemented using "reduce" like this

        $foo = reduce { $a < $b ? $a : $b } 1..10
    
    
    minstr LIST
    Similar to "min", but treats all the entries in the list as strings and returns the lowest string as defined by the "lt" operator. If the list is empty then "undef" is returned.

        $foo = minstr 'A'..'Z'          # 'A'
        $foo = minstr "hello","world"   # "hello"
        $foo = minstr @bar, @baz        # whatever
    
    

    This function could be implemented using "reduce" like this

        $foo = reduce { $a lt $b ? $a : $b } 'A'..'Z'
    
    
    reduce BLOCK LIST
    Reduces LIST by calling BLOCK multiple times, setting $a and $b each time. The first call will be with $a and $b set to the first two elements of the list, subsequent calls will be done by setting $a to the result of the previous call and $b to the next element in the list.

    Returns the result of the last call to BLOCK. If LIST is empty then "undef" is returned. If LIST only contains one element then that element is returned and BLOCK is not executed.

        $foo = reduce { $a < $b ? $a : $b } 1..10       # min
        $foo = reduce { $a lt $b ? $a : $b } 'aa'..'zz' # minstr
        $foo = reduce { $a + $b } 1 .. 10               # sum
        $foo = reduce { $a . $b } @bar                  # concat
    
    
    shuffle LIST
    Returns the elements of LIST in a random order

        @cards = shuffle 0..51      # 0..51 in a random order
    
    
    sum LIST
    Returns the sum of all the elements in LIST. If LIST is empty then "undef" is returned.

        $foo = sum 1..10                # 55
        $foo = sum 3,9,12               # 24
        $foo = sum @bar, @baz           # whatever
    
    

    This function could be implemented using "reduce" like this

        $foo = reduce { $a + $b } 1..10
    
    
     

    KNOWN BUGS

    With perl versions prior to 5.005 there are some cases where reduce will return an incorrect result. This will show up as test 7 of reduce.t failing.  

    SUGGESTED ADDITIONS

    The following are additions that have been requested, but I have been reluctant to add due to them being very simple to implement in perl

      # One argument is true
    
    

      sub any { $_ && return 1 for @_; 0 }
    
    

      # All arguments are true
    
    

      sub all { $_ || return 0 for @_; 1 }
    
    

      # All arguments are false
    
    

      sub none { $_ && return 0 for @_; 1 }
    
    

      # One argument is false
    
    

      sub notall { $_ || return 1 for @_; 0 }
    
    

      # How many elements are true
    
    

      sub true { scalar grep { $_ } @_ }
    
    

      # How many elements are false
    
    

      sub false { scalar grep { !$_ } @_ }
