The code says it all:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use feature 'say';
sub choose {
say "choose a number:
1
2
3
4
5
"}
choose();
my $x = <STDIN>;
say $x;
if ($x<1 or $x>5) {
say"You have chosen the wrong number";
choose();
$x = <STDIN>;
}
If you enter the wrong number, you get the new message again. But only once. I want the message to repeat until you type in the right number.
I am working on this code, because I have still the Basic syntax in mind:
if ($x<1 or $x>5) THEN GOTO 10
and that doesn't work that way in Perl.
