You are using the assignment operator in your "until" and "if" blocks, and *not* the comparison operator. You need to use the double equals for what you want...
until ($number == 999) And if ($number == 999) Rob -----Original Message----- From: Rambog [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 11:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Debug some simple code I am attempting a program that reads a list of numbers from the screen until the number 999 is read. It then prints the sum of all numbers read- with the exception of the 999. My code looks like: until ($number=999) { print "Please input your number:\n"; chomp($number=<STDIN>); @a=$number; } foreach $i (@a) { $c+=$i; } if ($number=999) { print "Your total is: $c\n" } The program immediately terminates with and the line "Your total is:" is output with a a blank value. It never even prompts me to input a number.
