"...if you run that last one and type 3+5-2, you get 3+5-2.(string "3+5-2", not the
number 6)" --Jacques
Hi Jacques,
Well, this is about data types. Unfortunately, Perl tends to haze up the issue by
doing away with explicit types and doing everything implicitly. In a programming, as
opposed to scripting, language, the assignment statements would have equivalents:
$calc=3+5-2;
int calc = 3 + 5 + 2;
$calc=$_;
string calc = $_;
