Hey, monks.

I've decided to give up on my stock thing until later, when I don't have a massive headache from trying over and over again. So, I've moved on to a much simpler one to try. I've managed to mess that one up too. So, I'm trying to make the first number go up by 10%, second number go down by 5%, third up by 10%, fourth down by 5%, and so on. If you're wondering about the 1100 and 950, I've already multiplied 1.1% and 0.95% by 1000 to save lines. So yeah, my problem is that when I run it, nothing comes out. It's just blank. I've tried rewriting it, but to no avail. Maybe I'm just doing this totally wrong. 

use warnings;
use strict;

my @array;

print "Enter the number of years: ";
my $i = <STDIN>;
my @p = 100;
sub number {
 
  for(1..100) {
   if ($_ % 2) {
   my $y = number($p[-1]*1100);
   push @array, $y;
   }
   else { 
   my $z = number($p[-1]*950);
   push @array, $z;
  }
}
}

print $array[$i-1];
