=head1 About this demo This example shows string formatting (both input cho(m)ping and output) and the illustrates many of the different conditionals and loops that are available in Perl =cut print "Please tell me the hour "; $hour = <STDIN>; chop $hour; # remove last character print "Please tell me the minute "; $min = <STDIN>; chomp $min; # remove last character is it's a new line # For keyboard input, which always ends in a new line, # chop and chomp will have the same effect on a scalar # HOWEVER # chomp will also work on a list # chop returns the character removes, chomp return NUM of chars removed $mindy = $min + ${hour} * 60 ; print "At the time of $hour:$min, we are ${mindy}mins into the day\n"; print "At the time of $hour:$min, we are $mindy"."mins into the day\n"; print "At the time of $hour:$min, we are $mindy","mins into the day\n"; # {} can be used to scope a variable name $hp = sprintf("%02d",$hour); $mp = sprintf("%02d",$min); print "At the time of $hp:$mp, we are $mindy","mins into the day\n"; printf "At the time of %02d:%02d, we are %dmins into the day\n", $hour, $min, $mindy ; print sprintf "At the time of %02d:%02d, we are %dmins into the day\n", $hour, $min, $mindy ; # ---------------------- Conditionals --------------------- if ($mindy < 350) { print "You are sleeping\n"; } print "You are still sleeping\n" if ($mindy < 350); unless ($mindy >= 350) { print "You are regaining beauty\n"; } print "You are still regaining beauty\n" unless ($mindy >= 350); $mindy < 350 and print ("Zzzzzzzz\n"); $mindy >= 350 or print ("ZZZZZZzz\n"); $mindy < 350 && print ("Zzzzzzzz\n"); $mindy >= 350 || print ("ZZZZZZzz\n"); # difference between and and && $mindy < 350 and $r = $s; $mindy < 350 && ($r = $s); print (($mindy < 350) ?
