Re^2: Perl confusion

Scot, Thanks for your message. I did not want a solution to the problem but a breakdown of what was expected in a beginners terms. I know to obtain user input I have to use STDIN but how to write that obtain that with the whitespace is where my confusion lies and I would appreciate some explanation. It is not my homework just practicing Perl for beginners. Please what does the sequence length mean? Thanks

I don't know what "sequence length" means. Googling, and noting from the chatterbox you were in the pharmaceutical industry, I would have to guess http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_sequence_length_polymorphism is what you're looking at? -Scott	[reply]

the sequence length is just the number of nucleotides in a sequence. such as 4, 100, 123 Is it supposed to look like this? #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; chomp(my $input = <>); print "$input\n"; if yes how do you put a limit on it for the user input?	[reply]
