Special Character What it Denotes Example
|

|
|
$ Scalar $number = 123.44; $string = 'aaaa';
|
||
|
|
@ Array @numberArray =(1,2,3);
|
||
|
|
@stringArray = ('elmt1', 'elmt2',3 );
|
||
|
|
$<var>[ ] Array Element print $stringArray[2];
|
||
|
|
$stringArray[4] = 'newstring';
|
||
|
|
% Hash %hashName = ('key' => 'value', 'key2'=>'value2');
|
||
|
|
$<var>{ } Hash Lookup print $hashName{'key'}; # prints 'value'
|
||
|
|
$hashName{'key3'} = 'value3'; # sets 'key3'
