Hey, who are you callin' names?!?


% 
% I need to evaluate a number if greater than 7 and add a value per increment.

Greater than seven is easy.  Adding a value is easy.  Per increment can
be a little tricky but we'll assume for the moment that the window is 1.
The code

  $sum = 67 ;   # starting value
  $trg = 7 ;    # trigger value
  $add = 6 ;    # what we add each time

  $num = 10 ;   # what we're evaluating (hardcoded here!)

  for ( $num ; $trg < $num ; $trg++ )
    { $sum += $add ; }

  print "when num = $num, sum = $sum\n" ;

should do for a starting point, though, and produces

  bash-2.05a$ php -q /tmp/inc.php
  when num = 10, sum = 85
  bash-2.05a$ php -q /tmp/inc.php
  when num = 20, sum = 145
  bash-2.05a$ php -q /tmp/inc.php
  when num = 7, sum = 67
  bash-2.05a$ php -q /tmp/inc.php
  when num = 1, sum = 67

when run.

Extra credit if you write it as a recursive function :-)


% I'm frazzled and can't think straight.

You can't ask straight, either :-)  Give us more details!
