6. Review week four lab assignment What is an object file? Object code is a representation of code generated by a compiler after it processes a programming language code file. It contains compact, pre-parsed code, often referred to as binaries that can be linked with other object files to generate a final executable.

7. Review week four lab assignment What is ELF? Executable and Linking Format (ELF) is a common standard file format for executables, object code, shared libraries, and core dumps.

8. Review week four lab assignment Online Documentation Websites that have Perl documentation. The two biggest ones are: http://perldoc.perl.org/ http://search.cpan.org/ for modules

9. Review week four lab assignment Perl Syntax ; End of statement delimiter , Comma for line continuation \n New line (non-printable character) <> The "diamond operator", <> is used when a program is expecting input, but isn't concerned how it arrives. Demonstrate: diamond_oper.pl <file name> diamond_oper.pl

10. Review week four lab assignment Perl Variable Syntax $ Singular variables prefix (single value, number or string) @ Prefix for plural variable (array) % Prefix for plural variable (hash) $_ Default variable It Is the "it" variable. It's often the default parm that built-in functions use, or return into. $0 Contains the name of the program being run

11. Review week four lab assignment Perl Syntax while ( … ) { Action statements } What is a continuous loop? while ( 2 ) { Action statements } Demonstrate: perl_it.pl

12. Review week four lab assignment Perl Syntax If ( … ) { Action statements } elsif { Action statements }

13. Review week four lab assignment Perl Syntax The Perl language does not support case or switch statements. The closest way to achieve case evaluations is as follows: if ( $condition_one ) {         action_one ();    }    elsif ( $condition_two ) {        action_two ();    }    ...    else {        action_n ();    }

14. Review week four lab assignment Perl Syntax If ( …) { Action statements }

15. Review week four lab assignment Three Types of for loops my @array; # Old style C for loops for (my $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {        $array[$i] = $i;    } # Iterating loops    for my $i (@array) {        print "$i\n";    }

16. Review week four lab assignment Three Types of for loops (continued) # Postfix for loops    print "$_\n" for @array;

17. Review week four lab assignment Perl Syntax foreach $total (12,9,3,7) { # Sum each value in the list. $sum += $total; }

18. Review week four lab assignment Perl Syntax foreach (-32,10,1,2,0,-1) { # Valid numbers are considered to be greater than zero # The default variable is utilized, if ( $_ > 0 ) { # Print each valid number on a single output line. print "$_\n"; } }

19. Review week four lab assignment Relational Operators NumericStringMeaning > gt Greater than >= ge Greater than or equal to < lt Less than <= le Less than or equal to

20. Review week four lab assignment Equality Operators NumericStringMeaning == eq Equal to != ne Not equal to  cmp Comparison with signed result The  or cmpoperators return 1 if the left operand is less than the right operand, 0if they are equal, and +1 it the left operand is greater than the right.

21. Review week four lab assignment Definition: array Arrays are an ordered list of scalars, accessed by the scalar’s position in the list. Otherwise known as a collection of scalars. In Perl, a scalar means the simplest data type which was designed to hold only one thing like a number, a string or a reference. Elements in an array are accessed by using an index. Array indexes start with zero.

22. Review week four lab assignment Array and Variable Initialization Initialize an array: @garage = (“rake”, “mower”, “shovel”); @persons = (“Will”, “Ken”, “Hazel”, “Jay”); $count = @persons; Unload array elements into variables: ($rake, $mower, $shovel) = @garage

23. Review week four lab assignment Array Data Structures Array of arrays – Two-dimensional array or a matrix @names = ( [ “Brenda”, “Clide”, “Kim” ], [ “Melinda”, Terri”, “Sissy” ], [ “Fred”, “Omar”, “Vincent” ] ); print $names [1] [1]; Demonstrate: ~dandrear/Winter_2013_Solutions/two_dim.pl

24. Review week four lab assignment Definition :Hash (associative array) A hash is similar to an array only because it contains a number of scalars. A hash is different in the case where the element of a structure represents a pair – a key and a value. Whenever we refer to an element of a Perl hash structure, we mean a pair (key and value) which links a value to a key. We have access to the elements of a hash variable by a scalar key. Hash table is an unordered set of scalars, accessed by some string value that is associated with each scalar.

25. Review week four lab assignment Hash Initialization %student_ages = ("John", 43, "Paul", 25, "Marie", 22); %members = (John => "father", Paul => "son", Marie => "daughter"); The comma-arrow (=>) operator is used to initialize the %members hash variable in the second line of code. The left side of the comma-arrow operator is expected to be a simple string and therefore it is not necessary to be quoted.

26. Review week four lab assignment Hash Initialization (con’t) %all_groups = ( group_name1 => [ “Betty”, “Tom”, “Moe” ], group_name2 => [ “Ali”, “Marcia”, “Sis” ] ); $all_groups{group_name1} [3] = “Sam”; for $couple ( keys %all_groups ) { print “$couple; @{$all_groups{$couple} }\n; }

27. Review week four lab assignment Hash Copy %school_ages = %student_ages Demonstrate: ~dandrear/Winter_2013_Solutions/hash_tbl.pl

28. Review week four lab assignment Hash Table Example %colormap=( “12” => “gray”, “19” => “black”, “30” => “red”,); %colormap = (“12”, “gray”, “19”, “black”, “30”, “red”);

31. Review week four lab assignment Perl utilizes two types of categories - Singular variables that represent a single-value. The variable prefix symbol for a scalar is the $. - Plural variables are ones that contain multiple-values. Arrays and hashes are two multi-valued variables.

32. Review week four lab assignment Perl data types $answer = 42; (an integer) $pi = 3.14159265; (a “real” number) $animal = “horse”; (string) $statement = “I exercise my $animal”; (string with interpolation) $amount = ‘It cost me $5.00’; (string without interpolation) $cwd = `pwd`; (string output from a command) Perl utilizes dynamic data typing of variables.

33. Review week four lab assignment • Filehandle is utilized for both input and output files. Most file names are cryptic and are meaningless to programmers. The purpose of a filehandle is to help the programmer remember a simple file name throughout a program. A filehandle is a name given for a file, device, socket, or pipe. Filehandle command line format: open(filehandle, file name, permissions, chmod); Example: open($FH,$file_name);

34. Review week four lab assignment • Practice scripts under the system /tmp directory. awksrc.sh diamond_oper.pl person.sh perl_it.pl two_dimen.pl names hash_table.pl test_build.sh perl_prt.pl

35. Weeks four and five expected outcomes • Write Perl scripts, including variables, control flow, and regular expression syntax

36. Next lab assignment Regular Expressions Search programs – grep, egrep, and findstr. Text language programs - sed and awk Text editors – iv, ed, and emac Many other languages use regular expressions and may advertise a particular version of Perl.

37. Next lab assignment Regular Expression Special Characters * Open square bracket [ * Backslash \ * Caret ^ * Dollar sign $ * Dot . Pipe symbol | Question mark ? Asterisk * * Plus sign + Opening and closing round brackets ( )

38. Next lab assignment Regular Expression (a.k.a. regex or regexp) Is a pattern that describes a certain amount of text. A basic regular expression could be the single character, e.g.: a Jack is a guy. It will match the first occurrence in the string. If succeeding matches are desired, the regex engine must be instructed to do so.

39. Next lab assignment Character Classes match only one out of several characters, e.g.: [ae] and gr[ae]y The order of the characters inside a character class doesn’t matter. Shorthand Character Classes match single characters, e.g.: \d and \w and \s and \t Non-Printable Characters are special character sequence to put non-printable characters in your regular expression, e.g.: \t and \r and \n and \a and \e and \v

40. Next lab assignment Dot matches almost any character, except line break characters, e.g.: gr.y Anchors match a position. Match start of string ^ Match end of a string $ Alternation is the regular expression equivalent of “or”. The search pattern bird | insect will first return “bird. The second match will be “insect”.

41. Next lab assignment names Bob D'Andrea 222-40-1234 03/19/1947 male Bo Happy 444-20-2222 01/01/1945 male Jane Smith 324-78-9990 04/23/1978 female Razi Jake 564-54-9879 05/26/2005 male The file named “names” contains the above information. There are tabs in two places in the above data. One tab is after the name and after the birth date.

42. Next lab assignment Without options, print the desired fields in any order. awk ‘{ print $1, $2, $3, $4 }’ names The –F option changes the field separator on the command line. The \t is an Escape Sequence for a horizontal tab. awk –F”\t” ‘{ print $1 }’ names

43. Next lab assignment makefile Lab Assignment Copy the test_build.sh script from /tmp directory. This script executes the make command which in turn executes the makefile. Demonstrate: ~dandrear/temp/test_build.sh Display the test_build.sh script

44. Next lab assignment Programming Perl, Chapter 32 Standard Modules Define: Module Parsing the command line with Getopt::Std Example: listdir –l –n –a 10:00 bottom top Perl utilizes @ARGV to capture the command line arguments Example: $ARGV[0] ‘-l’ $ARGV[1] ‘-n’ $ARGV[2] ‘-a’ $ARGV[3] ’10:00’ $ARGV[4] ‘bottom’ $ARGV[5] ‘top’
