=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) ? "Snorting\n" : "Awake\n");
$state = (($mindy < 350) ? "Horizontal" : "Vertical");
print "$state\n";

print ("----------------------\n");

print (($mindy < 350) ? "sleeping\n" : ($mindy > 450) ? "working\n" : "commuting\n");

if ($mindy < 350) {
        print ("You are sleeping\n");
} elsif ($mindy > 450) {
        print ("You are working\n");
} else {
        print ("You are commuting\n");
}

=head1 This will be coming ... Perl 5.10 and Perl 6

given ($mindy) {
        print ("sleeping\n") when $_ < 350;
        print ("working\n") when $_ > 450;
        print ("commuting\n") ;
        }

=cut

#------------------------ Loops --------------------------

while ($mindy < 500) {
        print "A) We have $mindy mins\n";
        $mindy = $mindy + 50;
        }

for ($mx = $mindy; $mx < 750; $mx += 50) {
        print "B) We have $mx mins\n";
        }

until ($mx > 1000) {
        print "C) We have $mx mins\n";
        $mx += 50;
        }

foreach $my ($mx .. 1060) {
        print "D) We have $my mins\n";
        }
# Cannot use $my following as it's an alias!

# next one - poor practise

anna:
{
        print "E) We have $mx mins\n";
        redo anna if ($mx++ < 1066);
}

# next one - awful practise!!

barbara:
print "F) We have $mx mins\n";
goto barbara if ($mx++ < 1070);

print "G) We have $mx mins\n" while (++$mx < 1075);

print ("H) We have ".$mx++." mins\n") until ($mx > 1085);
