madM has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi people! If i run this code i get this error:"Use of uninitialized value in division (/) at aprende2.pl line 64." does anybody knows how to solve it?

Re: Use of uninitialized value

    I get those warnings (with use warnings in effect). The problem comes from this loop.

    my @lnPAM1=(); LINE: for (my $i=0; $i<20; $i++){ for (my $j=0; $j<20; $j++){ if ($matrix[$i][$j] > 0){ $lnPAM1[$i][$j] = log $matrix[$i][$j]; }else{ next LINE; } } }

    When a matrix element equals zero, that value of @lnPAM1 remains undefined, and that undefined value is being used at line 64.

    $lnPAM1[$i][$j]= ($lnPAM1[$i][$j]) /($mutrate*100);

    For instance, $lnPAM1[0][17] and $lnPAM1[0][18] are undef. To avoid the warnings, you'll need to either assign some value to all of them or exclude matrix elements which are undef from executing line 64.

    Assuming line 64 is $lnPAM1[$i][$j]= ($lnPAM1[$i][$j]) /($mutrate*100);, you could try troubleshooting with something like this on the line before:
    say "$lnPAM1[$i][$j]:$i:$j";

    When I do this I see something like this snippet:

    -3.91202300542815:3:7 -3.50655789731998:3:8 :3:9 :3:10 :3:11 :3:12 :3:13 :3:14 :3:15 :3:16 :3:17 :3:18 :3:19 -4.60517018598809:4:0 :4:1 :4:2 :4:3

    Taking a look at where the matrix is built, it seems that the problem stems from your use of next in:

    LINE: for (my $i=0; $i<20; $i++){ for (my $j=0; $j<20; $j++){ if ($matrix[$i][$j] > 0){ $lnPAM1[$i][$j] = log $matrix[$i][$j]; }else{ next LINE; } } }

    By using next, you don't use all 20 iterations of i or j when building the matrix, but you do later on. You could look to see the dimensions of the matrix before iterating through its dimensions.

    Is there a reason you cannot use BrowserUK's suggestion from your previous post? If you can assume that the zero is just the roundoff of a small number, replace the zero with a any small number before you take the log. If you believe that the zero is exact and that its log has no meaning, use my suggestion. Store HUGE_VAL as the value of the log. It will fail if you try to use it, but you will know for sure where it came from.

    I downloaded and ran it just fine. Perhaps you didn't post the version of code that you thought you did?

      Thats strange... Im still getting the same error.. are you using warning and strict?
