As you can see, this is not obfuscated and the game is quite stupid. This is in fact my try to make Perlists and Pythonists friends again.

Juste note that the Perl code could be way shorter, whereas the Python one could not. :-)

###################################################################### # Python # Perl # ###################################################################### q = -1 ; #=; $n = int rand 1001; print '? '; q# import whrandom ; i = 1 #; while(<>){ q# n = whrandom.randint(0,1000) #; $i++; q# while q != n : #; last if $_ == $n; q# q = int(raw_input('? ')) #; print 'Too '; q# if q == n : #; print ($_>$n?'big':'small'); q# break #; print "\n? "; q# print 'Too', #; } q# if q > n : #; print "You won in $i tries\n"; q; print 'big' # else: # print 'small' # i = i + 1 # print 'You won in', i, 'tries' #;

You might as well imagine this as documenting Python code in Perl, and Perl code in Python, for beginners in any of the two languages.

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.
