'Or' and 'And' if statements in Perl

[Meatsim]

Hello again, I was wondering if there's any special syntax that you need to use to create 'or' and 'and' if statements, like this 'and' statement in C:

if ((a==6) && (b==6)) { printf("All you can think of is six."); }

I can't seem to get if statements like these to work in perl. Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks!

The reason is that variables in Perl need to be written as $a and $b. The following will work:

if (($a==6) && ($b==6)) { printf("All you can think of is six." }

That looks like the correct syntax to me, except for the print part, that should be:

if ((a==6) && (b==6)) { print "All you can think of is six."; }

The command you probably want to use is print, not printf. When you use printf it takes the first argument (in this case the string) and interprets it as the printf format string. That might be what's causing your problem. Tracy Dryden
