This was my first chance at testing this, and it did work. How, I'm not sure though. Specifically:
What do you call the "PRIMES:" and "__END___" syntax? I'll look up what it's purpose is, I just don't know it's name. Next, I don't quite understand the for loops. I understand that you created two scalars, $possible_prime and $test within the scope of the for loops, and I assume you did that because they are not needed outside of the for loops, right? That part I understand. However, I don't understand this part of the line: for my $possible_prime (@primelist) If I were to write it, I'd declare $possible_prime at the top where all of my variables are declared. And then I'd write it like this: foreach (@primelist) Would that be a correct representation? I'm also not sure how $possible_prime gets a value for the range operator to work on it in the second for loop. How does it get a value? The other constructs that are confusing me are next and unless. I've read about them, I've just not used them. I remember reading that unless can be used in place of while, where the block of code is before using unless, instead of after like in while. That's correct, right? I'll have to look up next. I know when I first read about it, I didn't understand it, so I've avoided attempting to use it. Thanks for the help. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
