Hi ALL Could any one write some coding for the following problem. In perl against Linx could someone help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to write a script that reads in four numbers from STDIN and add the first two together, and than adds the second 2 together. The input format is a number on a line.(press enter after every number) I also want to ompare the resulting two numbers with > or < and print the largest on STDOUT. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a second part to the previous problem. I now want to modify the script to read a name, and then the number (again each on its own line) To read four name/number pairs To read two names from STDIN and add the associated numbers together. Repeat this step. Then to compare the resulting two numbers with < or > and print the largest on STDOUT. Thanks in advance Bruce
