in thread Array logic!

That can't be right. It assumes that the first element of @small is correct, but it was explicitely mentioned that the first element could be wrong.

    Reading between the lines of the post and attemptng to interprete the intent from the example given, I took the "even if first and last are incorrect" to mean the lowest and highest values in the small array.

    This was the only interpretation I could make fit the data supplied.

      Very well, but that means your solution is wrong, as the lowest value in the small array happens to be $small [0].

      Eh, I can't read. In the example the lowest value isn't $small [0]. But what if it is?

        You made me look:) But isn't 77.0 < 78.6?
