in reply to Help with simple calculator script.

add this:

print $greeting; chomp($operator = <STDIN>); #your other prints and stuff here $c = $a - $b if $operator eq "-"; $c = $a * $b if $operator eq "*";

The if statement could also be written as such:

if ($operator eq "-") { $c = $a - $b; } else { $c = $a * $b; }
