in reply to Help with code for adding two arrays.

Hi fatalserpent,

Welcome to Monks,The code is having wrong syntax of push and also you have to use $l1 = $#rray1; instead of using $l1 = @rray1;since You are using 0..$l1 in the for loop.Because $l1 = $#rray1 will gives the maximum length minus one of the array size and $l1 = @rray1 will give the maximum size of the array.

See the below code it is working fine,
my $toolong = "seperated by a space "; print "Enter the value of the first array $toolong"; $tdin = <STDIN>; print "Enter the value of the second array $toolong"; $din = <STDIN>; chomp($tdin); chomp($din); #Creates arrays and calculates their length. @rray1 = split(/ /, $tdin); @rray2 = split(/ /, $din); $l1 = $#rray1; $l2 = $#rray2; unless($l1 == $l2) { die(print "ERROR: Arrays are different lengths"); #Error check } #Does the adding for(0..$l1){ $sum = $rray1[$_] + $rray2[$_]; push(@sums,$sum) ; } for(0..$l1){ print $sums[$_];}
see the output Enter the value of the first array seperated by a space 1 3 5 Enter the value of the second array seperated by a space 2 4 6 3711<sumarat@osmosins.wmindia:>
