Let’s imagine someone is studying radicals (which you’ll find numerous posts about here, by typing it in the search box). They want to memorize the perfect squares; a list would be helpful.<\/p>\n

Here’s a Perl program that prints the perfect squares from 12<\/sup> to the number decided by the user:<\/p>\n


\n#!\/usr\/bin\/perl
\nprint “Hello! I print the perfect squares.\\n\\n”;
\nprint “Enter the number you want to go up to, please\\n\\n”;
\n$top=<STDIN>;
\nprint “\\nokay…\\n\\n”;#recall \\n means newline<\/span>
\nchomp $top;
\n$i=1;
\nfor(1..$top){#range operator: loops from 1 to $top<\/span>
\nprint $i*$i.”\\n”;# . joins parts of a string together for output<\/span>
\n$i++;
\n}<\/p>\n

I’ll be showing more helpful hints about Perl over the summer:)<\/p>\n
