Hi All,
I am new to perl and while going through the chapters of Learning perl,
i just came through one excessive, while i was able to complete it, i
just came across something that didn't work and i couldn't find any
explanation for it. Would be great if i get some help in understanding
this behavior.
below is the code
print "the string: ";
$string = <STDIN>;
print "the no.: ";
chomp($number = <STDIN>);
$result = $string x $number;
print "the result is:\n$result";
in the above code when i use
$result = $string x $number;
i get the right result, i.e. strings printed on two lines.
but, when i use
$result = $number x $string;
I don't get any output at all, just wondering why this happens, any help
would be highly appreciable.
Regards,
Omps
