When you have a reasonably-sized range of real-numbered values, it is actually cleanest to simply define a list (or an array) of the actual values you want to use.

If the values represent known multiples of some base value, you can use an integer range and, within that range, do the necessary calculation.   Or, you might use a while loop, initializing the variable outside the loop and adding to its value at the end of the loop.

There are many ways to do it.   Pick one that is both abundantly-clear and easily maintainable.   Remember, “requirements change,” and you will not be (nor will you want to be...) in your present job forever.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
