Anonymous Monk,
How would I print the last element of a loop?
print "$array[-1]\n"; # If you mean last element of array my $last = keys %hash; my $counter = 0; for my $key ( keys %hash ) { $counter++; print "$hash{$key}\n" if $counter == $last; } # If you mean determine if this is last item in loop
If I run a code and go trough a file and found 5 numbers hor can I print the larger number?
use Scalar::Util 1.10 'looks_like_number'; use List::Util 'max'; my @numbers; while ( <FILE> ) { chomp; push @numbers , $_ if looks_like_number( $_ ); } print max(@numbers), "\n";
I would highly recommend you take a look at How do I post a question effectively?. You can find it and other helpful information at the PerlMonks FAQ.

Cheers - L~R
