## Perl
### Perl Self Assessment
<details>
<summary>What is Perl?</summary><br><b>
From the official [docs](https://perldoc.perl.org/):
"Perl officially stands for Practical Extraction and Report Language, except when it doesn't."
It's a general purpose programming language developed for manipulating texts mainly. It has been used to perform system administration tasks, networking, building websites and more.
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>What data types Perl has? And how can we define it?</summary><br><b>
- Scalar: This is a simple variable that stores single data items. It can be a string, number or reference.
```
my $number = 5;
```
- Arrays: This is a list of scalars.
```
my @numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
# or using the `qw` keyword (quote word):
my @numbers = qw/1 2 3 4 5/;
# '/' can be another symbol, e.g qw@1 2 3 4 5@
```
- Hashes (or associative arrays): This is an unordered collection of key-value pairs. We can access to a hash using the keys.
```
my %numbers = (
First => '1',
Second => '2',
Third => '3'
);
```
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>How can you access to a hash value, add and delete a key/value pair and modify a hash?</summary><br><b>
```
my %numbers = (
'First' => '1',
'Second' => '2',
'Third' => '3'
);
```
- Access:
```
print($numbers{'First'});
```
- Add:
```
$numbers{'Fourth'} = 4;
```
- Delete:
```
delete $numbers{'Third'};
```
- Modify:
```
$numbers{'Fifth'} = 6;
$numbers{'Fifth'} = 5;
```
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>How can you iterate an array? And a hash?</summary><br><b>
- Array:
```
my @numbers = qw/1 2 3 4 5/;
# Using `$_` that represents the current iteration in a loop. It starts from index array 0 until the last index.
foreach (@numbers) {
print($_);
}
# Output: 12345
# "$#" returns the max index of an array. That's the reason because we can iterate accesing to the array from the index 0 to the max index.
for my $i (0..$#numbers) {
print($numbers[$i]);
}
# Output: 12345
# Using the `map` keyword:
print map {$_} @numbers;
# Output: 12345
# Using `while`. We should take care with this option. When we use `shift` we're deleting the first element of the array and assigning it to the `element` variable.
# After this `loop` the `numbers` array will not have elements.
while (my $element = shift(@numbers)) {
print($element);
}
# Output: 12345
```
- Hashes:
```
my %capital_cities = (
'Madrid' => 'Spain',
'Rome' => 'Italy',
'Berlin' => 'Germany'
);
# Iterate and get the `keys`:
foreach my $city (keys %capital_cities) {
print($city . "\n");
}
# Iterate and get the `values`:
foreach my $country (values %capital_cities) {
print($country . "\n");
}
# Iterate and get the values and keys (first option):
foreach my $city (keys %capital_cities) {
print("City: $city - Country: $capital_cities{$city}" . "\n");
}
# Iterate and get the values and keys (first option):
while(my ($city, $country) = each %capital_cities) {
print("City: $city - Country: $capital_cities{$city}" . "\n");
}
```

<summary>What is a Perl subroutine? How to define it?</summary><br><b>
It's the perl model for user defined functions (this is also called function like other programming languages). We can define a subroute with the keyword `sub`.
```
sub hello {
print "hello";
}
```
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>Describe the different ways to receive parameters in a subroutine</summary><br><b>
- List assignment: Using the `@_` array. It's a list with the elements that are being passed as parameters.
```
sub power {
my ($b, $e) = @_;
return $b ** $e;
}
&power(2, 3);
```
- Individual assigment: We should access to every element of the `@_` array. It starts from zero.
```
sub power {
my $b = $_[0];
my $e = $_[1];
return $b ** $e;
}
&power(2, 3);
```
- Using `shift` keyword: It's used to remove the first value of an array and it's returned.
```
sub power {
my $b = shift;
my $3 = shift;
return $b ** $e;
}
&power(2, 3);
```

- Read and append. It creates the file if doesn't exist: `+>>`
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>How to write into a file?</summary><br><b>
```
# We can use:
# '>' Write (it clears a previous content if exists).
# '>>' Append.
open(my $fh, '>>', 'file_name.ext') or die "Error: file can't be opened";
print $fh "writing text...\n";
close($fh);

</b></details>

open(my $fh, '<', 'file_to_read.ext') or die "Error: file can't be opened";
my @file = <$fh>;
foreach my $line (@file) {
print $line;
}
```
We can use the file handle without assigning it to an array:
```
open(my $fh, '<', 'file_to_read.ext') or die "Error: file can't be opened";
foreach my $line (<$fh>) {
print $line;

<summary>What is the purpose of the bless function?</summary><br><b>
The function os the `bless` function is used to turning a plain data structure into an object.
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>How to create a Perl class? How can you call a method?</summary><br><b>
- Let's create the package: `Example.pm`
```
package Example;
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = {};
bless $self, $class;
return $self;
}
sub is_working {
print "Working!";
}
1;
```
- Now we can instance the `Example` class and call `is_working` method:
```
my $e = new Example();
$e->is_working();
# Output: Working!
```
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>Does Perl have inheritance? What is the `SUPER` keyword?</summary><br><b>
Yes, Perl supports inheritance. We can read about it in the official [docs](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlobj#Inheritance).
We also can read about `SUPER` keyword that is used to call a method from the parent class. It gives an example about how we can apply inheritance.
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>Does Perl have polymorphism? What is method overriding?</summary><br><b>
Yes, it has polymorphism. In fact method overriding is a way to apply it in Perl.
Method overriding in simple words appears when we have a class with a method that already exist in a parent class.
Example:
```
package A;
sub new { return bless {}, shift; };
sub printMethod { print "A\n"; };
package B;
use parent -norequire, 'A';
sub new { return bless {}, shift; };
sub printMethod { print "B\n"; };
my $a = A->new();
my $b = B->new();
A->new()->printMethod();
B->new()->printMethod();
# Output:
# A
# B
```
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>How can you call a method of an inherited class?</summary><br><b>
```
# Class `A` with `printA` method.
package A;
sub new { return bless {}, shift; };
sub printA { print "A"; };
# Class `B` that extends or use the parent class `A`.
package B;
use parent -norequire, 'A';
sub new { return bless {}, shift; };
# Instance class `B` allows call the inherated method
my $b = B->new();
$b->printA();
