my @items = map {$_ % 100 } @_;
my $sum = 100;
$sum -= $_ for @items[0..2];
$items[ $sum<0?0:2 ] += $sum unless $sum == 0;

Neat! i *think* I understand this.

Brother Frankus. - Thankyou.

Here's a Perl program that takes N numbers and scales them such that their sum becomes 100, but their ratios remain the same.

- Probably what I was unconciously seeking.

Abigail - Thankyou. This is what I will be using!

~Particle *accelerates* - I need to sanitise all inputs and continue to run. - probably an easy mod IF I understood how yours worked :)

Not sure why we're doing a modulo 100 operation here unless it's a substitution for the int() operator.

Seemed like the easy way to
a) force values <100
b) deal with non-integer inputs?

--t. alex - Thankyou.

When is P the compliment of ch?
