Process arrays without copying
This is similar to the previous solution but without copying the arrays
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @first = (2, 3);
my @second = (7, 8, 5);
my @res = add(\@first, \@second);
print "@res\n";
sub add {
my ($one_ref, $two_ref) = @_;
my @result;
foreach my $i (0..@{ $one_ref }-1) {
if (defined $two_ref->[$i]) {
push @result, $one_ref->[$i] + $two_ref->[$i];
}
else {
push @result, $one_ref->[$i];
}
}
foreach my $i (@{ $one_ref }..@{ $two_ref }-1) {
push @result, $two_ref->[$i];
}
return @result;
}
