Hello ovedpo15,

You can use the module List::Util::min and do something like that:

#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use List::Util 'min'; my @arr = ( 11673326, 11673329, 11673325, 11673330, 11673321, 11673335 ); print "Please insert a number:\n"; chomp(my $number = <>); my $next_largest = min grep $_ > $number, @arr; if(defined($next_largest)) { print $next_largest."\n"; } else { print "undef\n"; } __END__ $ perl test.pl Please insert a number: 11673326 11673329 $ perl test.pl Please insert a number: 11673321 11673325 $ perl test.pl Please insert a number: 11673335 undef

Hope this helps, BR

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.
