My Very first Program ...
Saw this kewl thing ... ok, I'm centuries behind ... but I think it just looks cute. SHIT really happens ... (for those who havent figured out the apprent joke yet)
Hurray! I got my very first program up and running ... nothing big - All it does is multiply, calculate the circumference of a circle and some other stuff. Here's the source code for one of the programs hand-typed by yours truly:
#!perl -w
#Write a program that promopts for and reads a string and a number on
#separate lines of inout and prints out the string the number of times
#inducated by the number on separate lines. Use the x operator. If the
#user enteres fred and 3 .. the output should be three lines.
print "Please enter a number\n";
$number =
"You have entered '$number'. Now, enter a word\n";
$word =
print "You have entered '$word'";
$result = $word x $number;
print "The results from this program are:\n$result";
#Did a mistake ... word should always precede number..
#chomp is used to remove a newline (\n) from the character.
#for example, if chomp were to be removed from "word" (assuming 'ok' is used)
#the result would show okokok instead of a neat list. :)
This is the furthest I've got from ever trying to get into programming. I guess I shalt have to go all the way. I'm hooked.
Went out with Winnie just now... walked from Dhobby Ghaut to Bugis. Quite fun ... hehe.
