note 2teez <p> Hi [jonagondos],<br> check this in your code: <c> if ( $choice = $an2 ) { ... } elsif ( $choice = $an1 ) { ... } </c> I suppose you want to use <c> if ( $choice == $an2 ) { ... } elsif ( $choice == $an1 ) { ... } </c> You are <tt>assigning</tt> to variable $choice, the value of the variable $ans2 using the <a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Assignment-Operators">assignment</a> operator <tt> '=' </tt>. <br> So, whatsoever, value inputted was replaced by the value of variable $ans2.<br> In which case variable $choice value is <b>ALWAYS</b> evaluate to <tt>2</tt> the pre-defined value of variable $ans2, so your <tt>elsif(){...}</tt> statement is not being evaluated. </p> <!-- Node text goes above.
