WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS STATEMENT
$Y = ($b**2-4($a*$c));
if ($Y =< -1); ( print "This program cannot take the square root of a negative number \n"; ) exit; endif

shouldn't \n be outside of the quotations?
i haven't done that shit in forever, but that's my only thought. i'm probably dumb

what's the error you're getting, fagbag
other than that, your if statement SHOULD be using curly braces {}, not parentheses (), NUB
i.e.
if ($Y =< -1) { print "This program cannot take the square root of a negative number \n"; }

NUB

why is there a semicolon after the conditional? and shouldn't it be <= (and shouldn't it ACTUALLY be < 0) and I don't think Perl has "endif", the close-brace should do the trick (so the "exit" should go in the braces) although I get these interchangeable scripting languages mixed up

yeah, no semi-colon after if() -- missed that. jesus, that entire snippet is a syntax nightmare. endif is vb, not perl. kill it with fire

WHATS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS LINE:
$error2 = ($b**2- 4($a*$c));
Title: Re: FUCK YOU PERL SYNTAX
Post by: Van Cruncheon on March 04, 2008, 07:06:58 PM
$error2 = ($b**2 - 4*($a*$c));
there is no function 4(), NUB

that'll be $150 an hour * 2 of us * (4 pm - 1 pm) (truncated since you don't seem to believe in floating point) = $900
