Explanation / Answer

Consider the following program: #!/usr/bin/perl #CREATE AN ARRAY @perl_array1 = qw(Perl Programming Tutorial ); @perl_array2 = ("Perl ", "Programing ", "Tutorial", " "); @perl_array3 = (1 .. 3); $perl_array4[0] = "Perl "; $perl_array4[1] = "Programming "; $perl_array4[2] = "Tutorial"; $perl_array4[50] = " "; #ADD ELEMENTS TO AN ARRAY $perl_array1[3] = " "; #PRINT ARRAY print @perl_array1; print @perl_array2; print @perl_array3; print $perl_array1[3]; print @perl_array4; # What index has a last element of an array print "Last element of perl_array4 has index: " . $#perl_array4 ." ";
