According to the 5th edition of the book, previous editions have sold more than 500,000 copies. Unlike ''Programming Perl'', this book is aimed at computer programmers new to Perl. The publisher offers a complete set of code examples presented in the 3rd Edition book. Schwartz selected the world of ''The Flintstones'' for the examples in this book, giving rise to the somewhat frequent use of ''Fred'' and ''Barney'' as metasyntactic variables, rather than the classic ...

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
