Question

Use Perl to program an array that holds three songs. Each song should have its title, artist, album, and year. Afterward, there should be a split function and a while loop to show the album followed by the song's title and album.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Algorithm:
  1. Start by defining an empty array to store song information.

  2. Add three songs to the array, with each song having four pieces of information: title, artist, album, and year. Separate these pieces of information using the pipe character ( | ) within each song entry.

  3. Initialize a loop to iterate through each song in the array.

  4. Inside the loop:

    • Take one song from the array.

    • Split the song information into its four parts (title, artist, album, and year) using the pipe character as the delimiter.

    • Store these four parts into separate variables for easy access.

  5. Display the album, song title, artist, and year for the current song:

    • Print "Album: [album name]".

    • Print "Title: [song title]".

    • Print "Artist: [artist name]".

    • Print "Year: [release year]".

    • Add a blank line to separate this song's information from the next.

  6. Continue the loop until all songs in the array have been processed.

  7. End the program.
