This is the first program I made. It's relatively simple but it helped me understand the basics.
use warnings;
use strict;
print "What is your name?";
my $name = <STDIN>;
chomp $name;
print "Hello, $name:)\n";
print "How old are you? ";
my $age = <STDIN>;
chomp $age;
print "You are $age years old!\n";
$age = $age / 2;
print "Half your age is $age years.\n";
my $sum;
{
print "Enter a number... ";
$sum = <STDIN>;
chomp $sum;
if (! isNumber ($sum))
{
print "Please use numrals.\n";
redo;
}
else
{
last;
}
}
my $nextsum = $sum / 2;
print "Half of $sum = $nextsum";
sub isNumber
{
my $value = shift;
return $value =~ /^[.\d+-eE]+$/;
};
print "\nTell me $name, would you like to try a test? Yes or No.\n";
{
my $answer = <STDIN>;
chomp $answer;
if ("no" eq lc ($answer))
{
print "Oh well, have a good day!";
exit;
}
if ("yes" ne lc ($answer))
{
print "Please answer yes or no $name\n";
redo;
}
}
print "The question is: What is the square root of 36?\n";
my $answertwo = <STDIN>;
chomp $answertwo;
print "Correct! Have a good day!" if "6" eq lc ($answertwo);
print "Sorry, you're wrong. Have a good day!" if "6" ne lc ($answertwo
+);
As you can see, it goes like this:
What is your name?your name
Hello, your name:)
How old are you? 34
You are 34 years old!
Half your age is 17 years.
Enter a number... 5
Half of 5 = 2.5
Tell me your name, would you like to try a test? Yes or No.
yes
The question is: What is the square root of 36?
seven
Sorry, you're wrong. Have a good day!

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).
