Overview: Arrays in perl

^{You have been using arrays in perl for some weeks now, however all of these arrays}have been populated by calling a function from Text::CSV. We have not modified thecontents of the array ourselves.

You can add elements to an array in perl using the push function.

For example, the following code creates an empty array, and then adds two valuesto it: sub printArrayContents {

Lab5/CIS*2250 # place_{my @array_argument = @_;}the f i r s t argument into the variable @array_argument

printArrayContents ( @list_of_values ) ; push( @list_of_values ,printArrayContents ( @list_of_values ) ;one ); push( @list_of_values ,printArrayContents ( @list_of_values ) ;two );

Note thethe order of any of the other values.push function adds the new value to the end of the array, without disturbing

Task 1 Description: Collecting Unique Values

will work as follows:For this lab, you are asked to write a program printUniqueColumnValues.pl that

This will provide a summary of what the values are within a given column of datain the file. scribes rates of education around the world.You will find the WorldBank_EducationData.csv file on CourseLink. This file deIf the file is run as in the example above:

then the expected output is this:perl printUniqueColumnValues.pl WorldBank_EducationData.csv 2
