Just making an example. OP would have to make specific checks based on their input.

You never know, maybe they are only dealing with integers, possibly joined with types of dog, in which case my example was perfect.

    Hmmm. Well, in that case, suppose the OP was dealing with a $seqnum equal to -9999997, in which case 
        my $bigseqnum = 3;

    would have been perfect! You never know!

      The key point was *just an example*. i.e. Trying to make a point, rather than cover every base.

      Your points would be important checks to incorporate though, and OP should bear them in mind!
