Re: How to make perl sort these values in order?

[james2vegas]

First off you should chomp the values you get from readline (<>), then sort them, the default sort is not numeric so something like:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

print "Type in a number.";
chomp(my $n1 = <>);

print "Type in another number.";
chomp(my $n2 = <>);

print "Type in another number.";
chomp(my $n3 = <>);

print "Type in another number.";
chomp(my $n4 = <>);

print "Type in another number.";
chomp(my $n5 = <>);

print "$_\n" for sort { $a <=> $b } ($n1,$n2,$n3,$n4,$n5);

I also added the use strict; use warnings;

You should consider chomping in a loop into an array.
