10.4. The Naked Block Control StructureThe so-called "naked" block is one without a keyword or condition. That is,suppose you start with a while loop,which looks something like this: while (condition) {
body;
body;
body;
}
Remove the while keyword and the conditional expression,and you'll have a naked block: {
body;
body;
body;
}
The naked block is like a while or foreach loop,except that it doesn't loop; it executes the body of the loop once,and it's done. It's an un-loop! You'll see other uses for the naked block,but one of its features is providing a scope for temporary lexical variables: {
print "Please enter a number: ";
chomp(my $n = <STDIN>);
my $root = sqrt $n; # calculate the square root
print "The square root of $n is $root./n";
}
In this block,$n and $root are temporary variables scoped to the block. As a general guideline,all variables should be declared in the smallest scope available. If you need a variable for a few lines of code,you can put those lines into a naked block and declare the variable inside that block. If you need the value of $n or $root later,you will need to declare them in a larger scope. You may have noticed the sqrt function in that code and wondered about it; yes,we haven't shown this function before. Perl has many built-in functions beyond the scope of this book. When you're ready,check the perlfunc manpage to learn about more of them. |
