Whilst my answer is longer, I think you will find it simulates a 7 segment display a little closer, and it has a larger, more readable font.

This one weighs in at 299 characters, excluding line breaks.

sub f{ $i=$_[0];$i=~s/(\d)\./$1|'@'/eg;@c=split//,"\brew\$]m.k{%\177o"; for$a(0..8){for$l(split//,$i){$x=ord$c[ord($l&"?")-45];print do{ if($a%4){$q=($x>>($a>4)*3)&6;($q&2?"|":" ")." ".($q&4?"|":" ") ." ";}else{($x>>($a>>2)*3&1?" ----- ":" "x7). ($a==8&&(($l&"@")eq"@")?" X ":" ");}}}print"\n";}} f(-123.04); f(56789);

And the output is:

                     -----     -----              
                |         |         |   |     |   
                |         |         |   |     |   
                |         |         |   |     |   
 -----               -----     -----     -----    
                |   |               |         |   
                |   |               |         |   
                |   |               |         |   
                     -----     -----  X           
 -----     -----     -----     -----     -----     -----    
|         |               |   |     |   |     |   |     |   
|         |               |   |     |   |     |   |     |   
|         |               |   |     |   |     |   |     |   
 -----     -----               -----     -----              
      |   |     |         |   |     |         |   |     |   
      |   |     |         |   |     |         |   |     |   
      |   |     |         |   |     |         |   |     |   
 -----     -----               -----     -----     -----    

Not bad for a first golf attempt? :-)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
