    1. A block starts with a {.

      1. Use + for addition.

      2. Use ++ to increment.

      3. Use == to test numeric equality.

        1. Use = for assignment.

      4. -

      5. > is an operator.

      6. < is an operator, too.

      7. Rather than using goto, wrap the whole part in a while loop.

    2. The while condition should test whether the loop should end or not. You'll have to adjust the algorithm a bit, as you can't test before you get the input, but the test is the first thing in the loop (or last, see do).

  5. / is the division operator .

  6. Use print again.

  7. Perl terminates once it has no more lines to execute.
