Exercise 1.7 |
in exercise 1.7, the alternative construct given to translate dna to protein
doesn't work properly. Since $i is incremented during the first iteration of
the loop the first codon is skipped.
This is how it is given:
my $i=0;
while (my $codon = substr($dna, $i += 3, 3) ) {
$protein .= Geneticcode1::codon2aa($codon);
}
BUT it should be:
my $i = -3;
while (my $codon = substr($dna, $i += 3, 3) ) {
$protein .= Geneticcode1::codon2aa($codon);
}

Fourth paragraph |
Missing the example for initializing hash.
Text says:
"....as a key with its value, as in: "
And then proceeds to the next paragraph. The promised example is left out.

First part of code on top of the page |
Problem in the typesetting, probably, since it's not the only place it occurs in the
book (see previously error in "unconfirmed error reports", pages 329 and 331).
Here it shows, in the book:
# plot the data on the graph
my $gd = $graph-> plot(
[ ^xsizes,
^ycounts
]
);
while it should have been:
# plot the data on the graph
my $gd = $graph-> plot(
[@xsizes,
@ycounts
]
);
