#!/usr/bin/perl


print "What is your name?\n";
$name = <>;
chomp($name);

$greeting = "Hello, " . $name . "\nWhat do type of math do you want th
+is program to do?\n";
print $greeting;

        print "What is the first number?\n";
        $a = <>;
        chomp($a);
        print "What is the second number?\n";
        $b = <>;
        chomp($b);
        print "Here is the answer\n";
        $c = $a - $b;
        print $c;
        print "\nTada\n";
