Re: FAQ 4.57 What happens if I add or remove keys from a hash while iterating over it?

since i like slices:

%h{ 0 .. 1e4 } = 0 .. 1E4 ;

ITYM:

@h{ 0 .. 1e4 } = 0 .. 1E4 ;


EP> while( $x = each %h ) {
EP> EP> delete $h{$x + 1};
EP> push @z, $x + 1;

and very few seem to know that delete returns its value and since your
keys and values are the same:

push @z, delete $h{$x + 1} ;
