( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I had to think about this one. It took so much work to think about it that I came up with a script to help me figure it out.

my $EHH = 0; # A constant indicating indifference. my $best_time = 0; my $favorite = ""; my @episodes = what_were_the_names_again(); foreach my $movie (@episodes) { next unless (released($movie)); %scenes = watch($movie); my $opinion = $scenes{"fun"} + $scenes{"cool"} - $scenes{"awkward"} - $scenes{"midochlorians mentioned"}; if ($opinion > $best_time) { $favorite = $movie; $best_time = $opinion; } # Present a quick recap of how I felt about this episode. if ($opinion > $EHH) { print "$movie was pretty good.\n"; } elsif ($opinion == $EHH) { print "$movie was okay.\n"; } else { print "$movie kinda sucked.\n"; } } print "My favorite would have to be $favorite.\n";

I'd have to say Episode 4 was my favorite according to this logic, but a more refined approach to calculating $opinion would be in order. For example, this calculation completely ignores appearances by my favorite cranky green muppet (besides Kermit).

Oh, man. I worry about myself sometimes.

Update: Updated the commentary to match the code. Whoops.

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.
