You could also have some fun doing something like this:

my @numbers = ('0.13', '0.14', '0.14', '0.19', '0.21', '0.23', '0.45') +; my %differences = (); for (my $i = 0; $i < scalar(@numbers); $i++) { next if $i == 0; push @{$differences{($numbers[$i] - $numbers[$i - 1])}}, $numb +ers[$i] . " - " . $numbers[$i - 1]; } foreach (sort keys %differences) { print STDOUT "Difference ($_) occured: ", join (', ', @{$diffe +rences{$_}}), "\n" } exit 0;

I guess that's going beyond the exercise a little bit, but kind of fun and turned out this:

Difference (0) occured: 0.14 - 0.14 Difference (0.01) occured: 0.14 - 0.13 Difference (0.02) occured: 0.21 - 0.19, 0.23 - 0.21 Difference (0.05) occured: 0.19 - 0.14 Difference (0.22) occured: 0.45 - 0.23

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
