Personally, I'd want to set the min and max to undef.

I then have a min/max function that skips over undefs in the input list (rather than treating undef as zero). If everything in the list is undef, then the result is undef. Otherwise the min/max of the defined values is returned.

In reply to Re^2: I am stuck on how to print the largest and smallest numbers from user inputted values. Any help is appreciated. by SuicideJunkie

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.
