Yup. Actually Its worse then that. Try using a number with a zero in it. It stops at the zero. I guess I should have run it instead of just trusting that it would work. (I'll try to re-write it to make it work, and I'll post the current, bad, version here so that other's will understand the mistake.)
chop($_=<>);print "\n$a: ",$a>>1?'odd':'even' while $a=chop;
# The above snipit does not work.
# When I posted it, I was thinking that the bit shift >>
# would return the bit shifted off the end, but of course,
# sanity eventualy prevailed and I realized that it does
# not do that. (duh!)
# Additionally, it has a bug in that it stops on the first
# zero in the number.
#
# TEST TEST TEST!!!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
