Re^2: How can I change the perl program involving if-elsif-else conditional to get correct result?

Or instead of reinventing the wheel, you could sort a list:

my @list = sort ($a, $b, $c);
print $list[$#list];

I'm too lazy to be proud of being impatient.

If you are going to do it like that, you need a numeric sort, not the default alphabetic sort: `@sorted = sort{$a <=> $b}($x, $y, $z); print $sorted[-1];` [download] Also, $a and $b are special variables reserved for sort and other purposes. Don't uses these for normal user variables.	[reply] [d/l]
