Inspired by a video on youtube
I wrote a calculator with Perl:
Beware the line my ($num1, $num2, $operator) = '@';
should be my ($num1, $num2, $operator) = @;
But the markdown syntax needs to have the @ into quotes otherwise, well the rest of the program is missing
#!/usr/bin/perl # calculator # use strict; use warnings; sub get_input { print "Enter number 1: "; chomp(my $num1 = <STDIN>); print "Enter number 2: "; chomp(my $num2 = <STDIN>); print "Enter operator (+, -, *, /): "; chomp(my $operator = <STDIN>); return ($num1, $num2, $operator); } sub calculate { my ($num1, $num2, $operator) = '@'_; my $result; if ($operator eq '+') { $result = $num1 + $num2; } elsif ($operator eq '-') { $result = $num1 - $num2; } elsif ($operator eq '*') { $result = $num1 * $num2; } elsif ($operator eq '/') { if ($num2 == 0) { die "Error: Division by zero\n"; } $result = $num1 / $num2; } else { die "Invalid operator\n"; } return $result; } # Get input from the user my ($num1, $num2, $operator) = get_input(); # Calculate the result my $result = calculate($num1, $num2, $operator); # Print the result print "$num1 $operator $num2 = $result\n";
