Hi guys,
I'm kind of stuck on a stupid question.
I need to multiply a number by another number, then add it to the previous number..numerous times.
Here's a made up version of my code, since I'm extracting the data I'm using from MS excel and it would take way too long to type all that up.
use warnings;
my @change = (1.15, -0.1, 5.4, 1.03, -0.241);
my @numberofshares = (100, 400, 200, 300, 240);
@hash{@change} = @numberofshares;
while (($k, $v) = each %hash) {
foreach ($v1) {
$product = $v1*$k1
}
}
Yes, I know this gives the incorrect number, but what I want to do is after each $k*$v, i'd add it to the previous result of $k*$v, and on and on.
I'm only a beginner at this, so please excuse my incorrect spacing or whatever in my code.
Thanks in advance!

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).
