Write a program in Perl using hash












0














I want to print 2 days back after getting input from user.



Example:



enter a day :
Input : Wednesday

Output : monday


I tried it using hashing with array but can't find result.



%hash=('mon',1,'tue',2,'wed',3);
@arr=keys %hash;

          Your attempt is backwards. The strings by which you want to search should be the keys of the hash.



          my @days = qw( mon tue wed );
          my %index_of_day = map { $days[$_] => $_, $_ => $_ } 0..$#days;

          defined( my $input = <> )
          or die("Premature EOFn");

          chomp($input);

          my $old_index_of_day = $index_of_day{$input}
          or die("Unrecognized day $inputn");

          my $new_index_of_day = $old_index_of_day - 2;
          $new_index_of_day += @days while $new_index_of_day < 0;

          my $output = $days[$new_index_of_day];
