Re^4: SIMPLE way to write these?

Like this?

my $i = $number1; while ($number2 >= $number1) { print $i++, "\n"; }
[download]

It goes into an infinite loop...I am clearly making a silly mistake here...

You are comparing $number2 and $number1 in your while; neither ever changes. That's why you get an infinite loop. Here is a solution that preserves the value in $number1. `my $number1 = 1; my $number2 = 10; my $i = $number1; while ($number2 >= $i) { print $i++,"\n"; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I think most would write this using the three argument for() statement: `my $number1 = 1; my $number2 = 10; for (my $i = $number1; $i <= $number2; $i++) { print "$i\n"; }` [download] Jenda Enoch was right! Enjoy the last years of Rome.	[reply] [d/l]
