FUCK YOU PERL SYNTAX

[T234]

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

[Mupepe]

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

[Mupepe]

you ignored me.  so i guess my idea really was THAT dumb

OH GOD I HATE YEW ERROR CHECKING

[Van Cruncheon]

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

[recursivelyenumerable]

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

[Van Cruncheon]

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));

[Van Cruncheon]

$error2 = ($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
