Re^2: storage of numbers

Laurent, use strict; would have caught your typo. I prefer to get the special cases out of the way early.

use strict;
use warnings;
my ($min, $max) = (0, 0);
while(<DATA>){
    chomp( my $input = $_ );
    last if $input eq '';
    
    $min = $input if $input < $min;
    $max = $input if $input > $max;
}
print "Min and Max are : $min $max \n";
__DATA__
11

56
75

Not really, Bill, since I did not try to run or even to compile the code. In my view, this was just a small code snippet showing changes compared to the original program, not a full program. But sure, I always use strict and warnings when I write actual programs. Thanks you for mentioning the typo.
