Perl: Search a pattern across array elements - arrays

I am a Perl newbie, stuck with another bioinformatics problem that requires some help and input.
The problem in brief:
I have a file, which has over 40,000 unique DNA sequences. By unique, I mean unique sequence id. I am attaching a portion of it at the end of my post to help you show what it looks like.
I need to divide each of the 40,000 sequences into 3 parts. So if a particular sequence is 999 character long, each of the 3 parts would have 333 characters.
I need to look for the following pattern through each of the 3 individual parts:
$gpat = [G]{3,5};
$npat = [A-Z]{1,25};
$pattern = $gpat.$npat.$gpat.$npat.$gpat.$npat.$gpat;
If $pattern appears in the first of the 3 parts, increase the counter of 'beginning', if $pattern occurs in the 2nd of the 3 parts, increase counter of 'middle' and lastly if the $pattern appears in the 3rd part, increase counter of 'end'.
Print the counters of 'beginning','middle' and 'end' i.e basically summation of 'beginning','middle','end' for each of the sequences.
Say in 1st sequence, the values are like '2','5','3' respectively and in 2nd sequence, the values are '4','1','6', the final count should be '7,6,9'.
The issues I am having:
If a particular sequence is split into 3 parts, potential $pattern is lost. eg say on a sequence like :
gggatgtcgatgcatggggatgcatcgatgcggggactagctagcgggatgctacgatggggatgatgataatatcgcggcgcatatatgctagtctatatatta
a split into 3 parts produces following 3 sub-parts,each of 35 character length:
gggatgtcgatgcatggggatgcatcgatgcgggg
actagctagcgggatgctacgatggggatgatgat
aatatcgcggcgcatatatgctagtctatatatta
Hence, $pattern gets split into the first 2 parts. Is there anyway to say "If $pattern begins in 1st part and ends in 2nd part", increase count of "beginning" ?
##UPDATE## The following issue has been resolved thanks to the code suggested by Cupidvogel
2.How do I divide a sequence into 3 parts if its length is not divisible by 3? I tried using int, but then the last part is 1-2
characters short.
The following is the code I have written so far.
It reads in the file, displays the header name and sequence, the length into which each sequence will be divided and finally the sequence split into 3 parts which works fine provided the sequence length is divisible by 3, for those which aren't, the final 3rd part is 1-2 characters short.
#Take Filename from user
print "Please enter file name : ";
$in =<>;
chomp $in;
open (FASTA,"$in") or die ;
while (<FASTA>)
{
$/=">";
#array = split '\n', $_;
$header=shift #array; # Header of the fasta sequence
print "\n\nNext sequence: \n";
print $header,"\n";
$seq= join '', #array; # sequence
$seq=~s/\s//g;
$seq=~s/\*//g;
$seq=~s/>//g;
print $seq,"\n\n";
$num = int(length($seq)/3);
#arr = unpack("A$num A$num A*",$seq);
print " New method gives this :", #arr;
print "\nThe first element is :", $arr[0];
print "\nThe second element is :",$arr[1];
print "\nThe third element is :",$arr[2] ;
#The following lines of code were originally written to split...
#...the sequence into 3 parts, albeit unsuccessfully
#my $split = (length $seq)/3;
#print $split,"\n\n";
#my $int = int $split;
#print $int,"\n\n";
#my #array2 = $seq =~ /(.{$int})/g;
#print join (" ", #array2),"\n\n";
#print $array2[0],"\n",$array2[1],"\n",$array2[2];
}
exit;
I have been trying the code I have written so far with the following sample file : sample.fa
>ABC_123 2

Any help and input would be deeply appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to go through my problem!

Rather than splitting the sequence into three parts, the way I see this working is to find all occurrences of $pattern in the complete sequence and determine in which third the pattern starts.
The built-in variable $-[0] contains the offset of the start of the most recent successful match.
The code below does what I think you want. It works by accumulating each sequence (which ends either when a new sequence ID is found or the end of file is reached) and passing it to the process_seq subroutine.
The subroutine takes the length of the sequence and caclulates the offset of the end of each third of the string. The idiomatic sprintf '%.0f', $value is used to round fractional values to the nearest character position.
The #counts array is adjusted for each occurrence of $regex in the sequence. The element of #counts to be incremented is established by comparing the starting position of the match in $-[0] with the end offset of each of the three segments of the sequence.
Once each sequence has been processed the values in #counts are accumulated into #totals to give overall figures for all sequences.
The output of the program when using your sample data is shown. The grand total is (9, 1, 6).
use strict;
use warnings;
my $gpat = '[G]{3,5}';
my $npat = '[A-Z]{1,25}';
my $pattern = $gpat.$npat.$gpat.$npat.$gpat.$npat.$gpat;
my $regex = qr/$pattern/i;
open my $fh, '<', 'sequences.txt' or die $!;
my ($id, $seq);
my #totals = (0, 0, 0);
while (<$fh>) {
chomp;
if (/^>(\w+)/) {
process_seq($seq) if $id;
$id = $1;
$seq = '';
print "$id\n";
}
elsif ($id) {
$seq .= $_;
process_seq($seq) if eof;
}
}
print "Total: #totals\n";
sub process_seq {
my $sequence = shift;
my $length = length $sequence;
my #offsets = map {sprintf '%.0f', $length * $_ / 3} 1..3;
my #counts = (0, 0, 0);
while ($sequence =~ /$regex/g) {
my $place = $-[0];
for my $i (0..2) {
next if $place >= $offsets[$i];
$counts[$i]++;
last;
}
}
print "#counts\n\n";
$totals[$_] += $counts[$_] for 0..2;
}

I lifted Borodin's process_seq function but used Bio:SeqIO to read in the file sequence by sequence, an advantage over manually reading line by line and the logic to determine various processing. I believe those advantages are:
Code that has been developed and tested by many others
Whenever possible, if output is done via the Bio::SeqIO module, the result file can then be read using Bio::SeqIO read (next_seq) method.
Other reasons I can't think of now :-)
I imagine the BioPerl package of Bio Genetic code modules must be overwhelming to a biologist beginning programming. He might not be willing to try to dig out the information he needs to begin building a program. BioPerl wiki is a good starting place, especially the Howto section, and then there's a how to for beginners and others. You'll find code examples which are mostly(?) helpful. Bio::Seq has some good code examples in the beginning and is where most of the general sequence functions are. Also, for input/output, the Bio::SeqIO module is used and it has examples at the beginning of it's manual.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Bio::SeqIO;
my $gpat = '[G]{3,5}';
my $npat = '[A-Z]{1,25}';
my $pattern = $gpat.$npat.$gpat.$npat.$gpat.$npat.$gpat;
my $regex = qr/$pattern/i;
my $in = Bio::SeqIO->new ( -file => "fasta_dat.txt",
-format => 'fasta');
my #totals;
while ( my $seq = $in->next_seq() ) {
process($seq);
}
print "Totals: ";
print "#totals\n";
sub process {
my $seq = shift;
my #offset = map {sprintf '%.0f', $seq->length * $_ / 3} 1..3;
my $sequence = $seq->seq;
my #count = (0,0,0);
while ($sequence =~ /$regex/g) {
my $place = $-[0];
for my $i (0 .. 2) {
next if $place >= $offset[$i];
$count[$i]++;
last;
}
}
print $seq->id, "\n#count\n";
$totals[$_] += $count[$_] for 0 .. $#count;
}

Multi-dimensional array formatted to console grid/columns

Using Text::Table or Text::ANSITable, or something similar...
If I have a two-dimensional array (which represents a grid of data), where the first row can be the column headers, how can I apply that data and format it into a command line grid with columns.
Something like this: PERL : How to create table from an array?
Except that the number of rows and columns is variable depending on the array setup and needs to automatically output as such.
Thanks
You can use Text::Table to accomplish this, as it handles variable numbers of rows and columns. Although the documentation leaves a lot to be desired, you can usually look to the test files or examples to show you how the library should actually get used. I've adapted example.pl to illustrate this:
table.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use Text::Table;
binmode STDOUT, ':utf8';
my ($rows, $cols) = #ARGV;
$rows ||= 5;
$cols ||= 7;
my #cols = map { "column " . $_} ( 1..$cols );
my $sep = \'│';
my $major_sep = \'║';
my $tb = Text::Table->new($sep, " Number ", $major_sep,
(map { +(" $_ ", $sep) } #cols)
);
my $num_cols = #cols;
for my $row (1..$rows) {
$tb->load([ "row $row", map { "r$row,c$_" } ( 1..$cols ) ]);
}
my $make_rule = sub {
my ($args) = #_;
my $left = $args->{left};
my $right = $args->{right};
my $main_left = $args->{main_left};
my $middle = $args->{middle};
return $tb->rule(
sub {
my ($index, $len) = #_;
return ('─' x $len);
},
sub {
my ($index, $len) = #_;
my $char =
( ($index == 0) ? $left
: ($index == 1) ? $main_left
: ($index == $num_cols+1) ? $right
: $middle
);
return $char x $len;
},
);
};
my $start_rule = $make_rule->(
{
left => '┌',
main_left => '╥',
right => '┐',
middle => '┬',
}
);
my $mid_rule = $make_rule->(
{
left => '├',
main_left => '╫',
right => '┤',
middle => '┼',
}
);
my $end_rule = $make_rule->(
{
left => '└',
main_left => '╨',
right => '┘',
middle => '┴',
}
);
print $start_rule, $tb->title,
(map { $mid_rule, $_, } $tb->body()), $end_rule;
output

While modules offer easier control and features, if you only need to print it out as a grid
use warnings;
use strict;
use feature 'say';
my #ary = ([1..3], [10..12], [100..102]);
foreach my $row (#ary) {
printf "%7.3f ", $_ for #$row;
say ''
}
Prints
1.000 2.000 3.000
10.000 11.000 12.000
100.000 101.000 102.000
Choose your specifier (%7.3f above) accordingly to what data you have. See sprintf
If the first row is headers, shift it off of the array and print with the same width but using %s
my #ary = ([qw(one two three)], [1..3], [10..12], [100..102]);
printf "%7s ", $_ for #{shift #ary};
say '';
foreach my $row (#ary) {
printf "%7.3f ", $_ for #$row;
say ''
}
This prints the same as above but with (aligned) column names in the first row.
If "grid of data" means numeric data, then the code can discover whether there is a header line, with a reasonable assumption that the first line contains something non-numeric
use List::Util qw(any);
my $have_header = any { /[^0-9.+-]/ } #{$ary[0]};
what also assumes the absence of NaN and 1e02 or such on the first line (can be checked).
Better yet, use looks_like_number from Scalar::Util
use List::Util qw(any);
use Scalar::Util qw(looks_like_number);
my $have_header = any { not looks_like_number($_) } #{$ary[0]};
This uses Perl's internal sense of what a number is, and accounts for NaN and exponential notation, among other things.
If the program needs to find out the width of columns, or they differ a lot, there is more to do for a nice output since we need the maximum width of each column.
use warnings;
use strict;
use feature 'say';
use List::Util qw(max);
my $file = shift #ARGV || 'data.txt';
open my $fh, '<', $file or die "Can't open $file: $!";
my #ary = map { [ split ] } <$fh>;
my #maxw = (1) x #{$ary[0]};
for my $r (#ary) {
for (0..$#$r) {
my $len = length $r->[$_];
$maxw[$_] = $len if $len > $maxw[$_]
}
};
my $hdr = shift #ary;
printf "%$maxw[$_]s ", $hdr->[$_] for 0..$#$hdr;
say '';
for my $i (0..$#ary) {
printf "%-$maxw[$_].2f ", $ary[$i]->[$_] for 0..$#{$ary[$i]};
say '';
}
This expects numbers, except for the header. A few other reasonable assumptions are made.
With input data.txt file used to populate the array
one two three
1.12 1.1 12
1.00 10.00 102.00
the program prints
one two three
1.12 1.10 12.00
1.00 10.00 102.00
If there is a reason to "underline" the column names print this line right after headers
say join(" ", map { '-'x$maxw[$_] } 0..$#$hdr);
(However, tables are generally most readable when free of extra decorations.)
Note. If the numbers are computed in the program those scalars are used as numbers and the length of the string representing them in print should be queried as length sprintf "%s", $num. When they are read from a file they are taken as strings, what is used above for simplicity.
Note for another refinement. The above uses (fixed) 2 decimal places. That can be changed, if needed, so to first count the number of decimal places in input and print out accordingly. However, it is probably more sensible to decide on the uniform width, or at least fix the maximum width. (One doesn't want an accidental column with 16 decimal places, most useless!)

I want to group and write into a file all the row elements (sequentially).
Conditions are if column four values less than 1000 and minimum two values are next to each other, group them else if the value less than 1000 and lies between the values more than 1000 treat them as single and append separately in the same file and the values which are more than 1000 also write as a block but with out affecting the order of the 2nd and third column.
This file is output of my previous program, now for this I have tried implementing my hands but getting some weird results. Here is my chunk of code, but non functional. Guys I need just help if i am executing my logic well here, I am open for any comments as a beginner. And also correct me anywhere.
my #dataf= sort{ $a->[1]<=> $b->[1]} #data;
#dataf=reverse #dataf;
for(my $i>=0;$i<=$#Start;$i++)
{
print "$sortStart[$i]\n";
my $diff = $sortStart[$i] - $sortStart[$i+1];
$dataf[$i][3]= $diff;
# $IDdiff{$ID[$i]}=$diff;
}
#print Dumper(#dataf);
open (CLUST, ">> ./clustTest.txt" );
for (my $k=0;$k<=$#Start;$k++)
{
for (my $l=0;$l<=3;$l++)
{
# my $tempdataf = shift $dataf[$k][$l];
# print $tempdataf;
if ($dataf[$k][3]<=1000)
{
$flag = 1;
do
{
print CLUST"----- Cluster $clustNo -----\n";
print CLUST"$dataf[$k][$l]\t";
if ($dataf[$k][3]<=1000)
{
$flag1 = 1;
}else {$flag1=0;}
$clustNo++;
}until($flag1==0 && $data[$k][3] > 1000);
if($flag1==0 && $data[$k][3] > 1000)
{
print CLUST"Singlet \n";
print CLUST"$dataf[$k][$l]\t";
next;
}
#print CLUST"$dataf[$k][$l]\t"; ##IDdiff
}
print CLUST"\n";
}
}

This seems to produce the expected output. I'm not sure I understood the specification correctly, so there might be errors and edge cases.
How it works: it remembers what kind of section it's currently outputting ($section, Singlet or Cluster). It accumulates lines in the #cluster array if they belong together, when an incompatible line arrives, the cluster is printed and a new one is started. If the cluster to print has only one member, it's treated as a singlet.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my $section = q();
my #cluster;
my $cluster_count = 1;
sub output {
if (#cluster > 1) {
print "Cluster$cluster_count\n";
$cluster_count++;
} elsif (1 == #cluster) {
print $section = 'Singlet', "s\n" unless 'Singlet' eq $section;
}
print for #cluster;

}
my $last = 'INF';
while (<>) {
my ($id, $from, $to, $value) = split;
if ($value > 1000 || 1000 < abs($last - $from)) {
output();
} else {
$section = 'Cluster';
}
push #cluster, $_;

I do not understand the role of qw in Perl, which I understood in in debugging the code in this thread.
Its manual is very limited here: qw/string/.
I am trying to understand what goes wrong in the following code I am doing simple manipulation to the data (multiplying by one (1.0)).
Original code which is a simplified version of the situation in a real-world case
use v5.16;
use Math::Geometry::Planar qw(SegmentLineIntersection);
sub x_intercepts {
my ($points) = #_;
die 'Must pass at least 2 points' unless #$points >= 2;
my #intercepts;
my #x_axis = ( [0, 2000], [1, 2000] );
foreach my $i (0 .. $#$points - 1) {
my $intersect = SegmentLineIntersection([#$points[$i,$i+1], #x_axis]);
push #intercepts, $intersect if $intersect;
}
return \#intercepts;
}
my #xs = qw/22.595451 20.089094 17.380813 15.091260 12.477935 10.054821 7.270003 4.804673 4.728526 4.619254 4.526920 4.418416 4.321419 4.219890 4.123336 4.009777 3.912648 3.804183 3.705847 3.597756 3.512301 3.393413 3.301963 3.196725 3.098560 3.007482 2.899825 2.801002 2.688680 2.598862 2.496139 2.393526 2.282183 2.190449 2.084530 1.987778 1.877562 1.788788 1.678473 1.578123 1.467071 1.373372 1.283629 1.176670 1.071805 0.975422 0.877622 0.767820 0.667409 0.562480 0.469068 0.354589 0.264291 0.152522 0.063765 -0.045323 -0.136783 -0.248559 -0.343694 -0.459178 -0.551917 -0.640803 -0.755502 -0.845535 -0.955227 -1.045879 -1.155600 -1.254556 -1.365163 -1.461669 -1.571370 -1.658043 -1.772672 -1.865942 -1.981037 -2.073702 -2.176205 -2.276184 -2.367371 -2.476278 -2.567385 -2.686326 -2.777433 -2.884357 -2.980067 -3.087754 -3.183607 -3.291003 -3.386942 -3.495822 -3.586759 -3.702955 -3.793550 -3.900680 -3.999672 -4.093094 -4.200047 -4.301026 -4.399742 -4.493190 -4.602013 -4.705124 -4.812383 -4.907510 -5.022904 -5.109829 -5.214304 -5.317662 -7.703172 -10.350131 -12.921361 -15.431203 -18.188013 -20.544248 -22.822808 -25.679854 -22.999092 -20.540434 -17.964916 -15.398857 -12.990375 -10.402209 -7.888263 -5.504909 -5.217892 -5.109841 -5.014187 -4.908558 -4.811807 -4.704282 -4.605555 -4.504613 -4.406546 -4.292540 -4.204043 -4.088770 -3.995524 -3.905669 -3.796544 -3.707958 -3.596449 -3.490966 -3.382869 -3.293054 -3.185821 -3.088417 -2.971214 -2.880314 -2.772518 -2.677986 -2.569794 -2.473668 -2.365096 -2.276422 -2.179232 -2.068195 -1.973110 -1.859565 -1.771873 -1.669422 -1.569953 -1.462626 -1.364911 -1.258100 -1.159318 -1.050486 -0.959979 -0.849149 -0.749421 -0.640950 -0.547122 -0.451754 -0.344463 -0.252269 -0.134625 -0.051640 0.052970 0.154112 0.266505 0.353926 0.468739 0.561666 0.673810 0.759169 0.881697 0.973207 1.082409 1.170424 1.282163 1.378096 1.472728 1.586454 1.678473 1.785688 1.873862 1.984090 2.086021 2.196799 2.292400 2.386097 2.493190 2.601726 2.694346 2.803450 2.901878 3.011959 3.103050 3.196979 3.294507 3.397563 3.504076 3.600163 3.712539 3.809573 3.919799 4.012314 4.120694 4.216406 4.322895 4.416466 4.522871 4.623917 4.735925 4.826929 7.361253 9.647208 12.337984 14.870260 17.439730 19.921717 22.524080 25.125903/;

where I just activate this line # my #ys = 1.0 * #ys; by commenting out which gives
Must pass at least 2 points at test2.pl line 7.
which suggests that 1.0 * qw_stuff is doing something else than I expect.
I run
my #ys = 1 * scalar(#ys); my #ys = qw/#ys/;
but the same error persists.
How can you do the simple manipulation of the data between integer and qw in Perl?

is identical to
my #xs = ('22.595451', '20.089094', '17.380813', '15.091260', 'etc...');
but, as you can see saves a bunch of typing.
So now that you've got a bunch of strings, you can just use them as numbers and perl will automatically do the conversion for you (generally recommended), or if their stringatude offends you, you can explicitly do a premature manual conversion.
When you want to transform an array or list, think map or foreach.
#ys = map { 1 * $_ } #ys;
or
foreach my $element (#ys) {
$element *= 1; # or += 0 both work.
}
... but seriously, what is that actually buying you? If you allow Perl to do the conversion at it's leisure, the values will become dual valued and won't need to be re-converted if you use them as strings. With Manual conversion you risk ending up with a numeric only value that may require re-stringifying and thus a possible second bite at the round-off error apple.
The only time you may really want to do a manual conversion is when you need to convert to BigInt, BigFloat, or similar objects (i.e. you are concerned about any possible loss of precision an auto convert to a float will do); or if you are prepping the values for output via JSON or YAML to a system that cares about the difference between 'text representation of a number' (49) and 'quoted strings of digits' ("49"), though be warned that this counts as re-stringifying.

Perl: Filtering through an Array to Make a New Array

I'm trying to filter an array of a delimited text file in my program. The array from this text file looks like this:
YCL049C 1 511.2465 0 0 MFSK
YCL049C 2 4422.3098 0 0 YLVTASSLFVALT
YCL049C 3 1131.5600 0 0 DFYQVSFVK
YCL049C 4 1911.0213 0 0 SIAPAIVNSSVIFHDVSR
YCL049C 5 774.4059 0 0 GVAMGNVK
..
.
and the code I have for this section of the program is:
my #msfile_filtered;
my $msline;
foreach $msline (#msfile) {
my ($name, $pnum, $m2c, $charge, $missed, $sequence) = split (" ", $msline);
if (defined $amino) {
if ($amino =~ /$sequence/i) {
push (#msfile_filtered, $msline);
}
}
else {
push (#msfile_filtered, $msline);
}

$amino will just be a letter that will be input by the user, and corresponds to the last field $sequence. It is not essential that the user actually inputs $amino, so I need to duplicate this array and keep it unchanged if this is the case (hence the else statement). At the minute the #msfile_filtered array is empty, but I am unsure why, any ideas?
EDIT: just to clarify, there is only one space between each field, I copy and pasted this from notpad++, so extra spaced were added. The file itself will only have one space between fields.
Thanks in advance!
The regex that tries to find matching rows is backwards. To find a needle in a haystack, you need to write $haystack =~ /needle/, not the other way around.
Also, to simplify your logic, if $amino is undef, skip the loop entirely. I would rewrite your code as follows:
if (defined $amino)
{
foreach $msline (#msfile)
{
my ($name, $pnum, $m2c, $charge, $missed, $sequence) = split(" ", $msline);
push #msfile_filtered, $msline if ($sequence =~ /$amino/i);
}
} else
{
#msfile_filtered = #msfile;
}
You could simplify this further down to a single grep statement, but that begins to get hard to read. An example of such a line might be:
#msfile_filtered =
defined $amino
? grep { ( split(" ", $_ ) )[5] =~ /$amino/i } #msfile
: #msfile;
The split is should take more than one whitespaces, and the regex vars are vice versa.
First debug to check that values are correct after the split.
Also, you must swap your regex variables like this:
if ($sequence =~ /$amino/i) {
Now you're checking if $amino contains $sequence, which obviously it doesn't

Morse Code Decoder in Perl

I am trying to teach myself Perl and I have been struggling... Last night I did a program to calculate the average of a set of numbers that the user provided in order to learn about lists and user input so today I thought I would do a Morse Code decoder to learn about Hashes. I have looked through the book that I bought and it doesn't really explain hashes very well... it actually doesn't explain a lot of things very well. Any help would be appreciated!
Anyways, I am wanting to write a program that decodes the morse code that the user inputs. So the user would enter:
-.-.
.-
-
...
!
.-.
..-
.-..
.
The exclamation point would signify a separate word. This message would return "Cats Rule" to the user. Below is the code I have so far... Remember.. I have been programming in perl for under 24 hours haha.
Code:
use 5.010;
my %morsecode=(
'.-' =>'A', '-...' =>'B', '-.-.' =>'C', '-..' =>'D',
'.' =>'E', '..-.' =>'F', '--.' =>'G', '....' =>'H',
'..' =>'I', '.---' =>'J', '-.-' =>'K', '.-..' =>'L',
'--' =>'M', '-.' =>'N', '---' =>'O', '.--.' =>'P',
'--.-' =>'Q', '.-.' =>'R', '...' =>'S', '-' =>'T',
'..-' =>'U', '...-' =>'V', '.--' =>'W', '-..-' =>'X',
'-.--' =>'Y', '--..' =>'Z', '.----' =>'1', '..---' =>'2',
'...--' =>'3', '....-' =>'4', '.....' =>'5', '-....' =>'6',
'--...' =>'7', '---..' =>'8', '----.' =>'9', '-----' =>'0',
'.-.-.-'=>'.', '--..--'=>',', '---...'=>':', '..--..'=>'?',
'.----.'=>'\'', '-...-' =>'-', '-..-.' =>'/', '.-..-.'=>'\"'
);
my #k = keys %morsecode;
my #v = values %morsecode;
say "Enter a message in morse code separated by a line. Use the exclamation point (!) to separate words. Hit Control+D to signal the end of input.";
my #message = <STDIN>;
chomp #message;
my $decodedMessage = encode(#message);
sub encode {
foreach #_ {
if (#_ == #k) {
return #k;
#This is where I am confused... I am going to have to add the values to an array, but I don't really know how to go about it.
}
else if(#_ == '!') {return ' '}
else
{
return 'Input is not valid';
}
}
}
Your code contains two syntactic errors: foreach requires a list to iterate over; this means parens. Unlike C and other languages, Perl doesn't support else if (...). Instead, use elsif (...).
Then there are a few semantic mistakes: The current value of an iteration is stored in $_. The array #_ contains the arguments of the call to your function.
Perl comparse strings and numbers differently:
Strings Numbers
eq ==
lt <
gt >
le <=
ge >=
ne !=
cmp <=>
Use the correct operators for the task at hand, in this case, the stringy ones.
(Your code #_ == #k does something, namely using arrays in numeric context. This produces the number of elements, which is subsequenty compared. #_ == '!' is just weird.)
What you really want to do is to map the inputted values to a list of characters. Your hash defines this mapping, but we want to apply it. Perl has a map function, it works like
#out_list = map { ACTION } #in_list;
Inside the action block, the current value is available as $_.
We want our action to look up the appropriate value in the hash, or include an error message if there is no mapping for the input string:
my #letters = map { $morsecode{$_} // "<unknown code $_>" } #message;
This assumes ! is registered as a space in the morsecode hash.
We then make a single string of these letters by joining them with the empty string:
my $translated_message = join "", #letters;
And don't forget to print out the result!
The complete code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings; use 5.012;
my %morsecode=(
'.-' =>'A', '-...' =>'B', '-.-.' =>'C', '-..' =>'D',
'.' =>'E', '..-.' =>'F', '--.' =>'G', '....' =>'H',
'..' =>'I', '.---' =>'J', '-.-' =>'K', '.-..' =>'L',
'--' =>'M', '-.' =>'N', '---' =>'O', '.--.' =>'P',
'--.-' =>'Q', '.-.' =>'R', '...' =>'S', '-' =>'T',
'..-' =>'U', '...-' =>'V', '.--' =>'W', '-..-' =>'X',
'-.--' =>'Y', '--..' =>'Z', '.----' =>'1', '..---' =>'2',
'...--' =>'3', '....-' =>'4', '.....' =>'5', '-....' =>'6',
'--...' =>'7', '---..' =>'8', '----.' =>'9', '-----' =>'0',
'.-.-.-'=>'.', '--..--'=>',', '---...'=>':', '..--..'=>'?',
'.----.'=>'\'', '-...-' =>'-', '-..-.' =>'/', '.-..-.'=>'"',
'!' =>' ',
);
say "Please type in your morse message:";
my #codes = <>;
chomp #codes;
my $message = join "", map { $morsecode{$_} // "<unknown code $_>" } #codes;
say "You said:";
say $message;
This produces the desired output.
There's a lot of value in learning the how and why, but here's the what:
sub encode {
my $output;
foreach my $symbol (#_) {
my $letter = $morsecode{$symbol};
die "Don't know how to decode $symbol" unless defined $letter;
$output .= $letter
}
return $output;
}
or even as little as sub encode { join '', map $morsecode{$_}, #_ } if you're not too worried about error-checking. #k and #v aren't needed for anything.
Searching for values in hashes is a very intense job, you are better of by just using a reverse hash. You can easily reverse a hash with the reverse function in Perl. Also, while watching your code I have seen that you will be able to enter lower-case input. But while searching in hashes on keys, this is case-sensitive. So you will need to uppercase your input. Also, I do not really like the way to "end" an STDIN. An exit word/sign would be better and cleaner.
My take on your code
my %morsecode=(
'.-' =>'A', '-...' =>'B', '-.-.' =>'C', '-..' =>'D',
'.' =>'E', '..-.' =>'F', '--.' =>'G', '....' =>'H',
'..' =>'I', '.---' =>'J', '-.-' =>'K', '.-..' =>'L',
'--' =>'M', '-.' =>'N', '---' =>'O', '.--.' =>'P',
'--.-' =>'Q', '.-.' =>'R', '...' =>'S', '-' =>'T',
'..-' =>'U', '...-' =>'V', '.--' =>'W', '-..-' =>'X',
'-.--' =>'Y', '--..' =>'Z', '.----' =>'1', '..---' =>'2',
'...--' =>'3', '....-' =>'4', '.....' =>'5', '-....' =>'6',
'--...' =>'7', '---..' =>'8', '----.' =>'9', '-----' =>'0',
'.-.-.-'=>'.', '--..--'=>',', '---...'=>':', '..--..'=>'?',
'.----.'=>'\'', '-...-' =>'-', '-..-.' =>'/', '.-..-.'=>'\"'
);
my %reversemorse = reverse %morsecode;
print "Enter a message\n";
chomp (my $message = <STDIN>);
print &encode($message);
sub encode{
my $origmsg = shift(#_);
my #letters = split('',$origmsg);
my $morse = '';
foreach $l(#letters)
{
$morse .= $reversemorse{uc($l)}." ";
}
return $morse;
}
