Re: **HomeWork** Printing the found input from an array

You seem to harbor a misconception about strict and warnings:

And I know I have to turn warnings on, I just wanted to figure out how to get it working first.

Nope! That's backward. Strict and warnings help you get it working by telling you what's wrong with your code.

Granted, the output may be hard to follow at first; may point you to the wrong line in some cases (if blocks); may demand other techniques (such as inserting print statements); but strict and warnings are NOT something to "turn on" when you think you have working code; they exist to help you get there.

The diagnostics pragma is useful because is explains what the various warnings and errors mean in more detail. It is also a good pragma to turn on while you are learning. TGI says moo	[reply]
