Re: Simple GPA calculator program

Thanks all for the help. Tad, you are mean :) no I'm just kidding, I
am sure that your advice has been taken advantage of before, but
seriously take it easy on us newbies many of us are trying our best, I
am just more of a Java guy, this Perl almost makes it to simple
sometimes, putting strings and int and char all into one variable type
is just chaos on my little mind. But your advice was very helpful, and
I do appreciate it.

A couple of you seemed to think that I was asking you to do the entire
thing for me, I honestly was not, if I had I would not have done as
much as I did. Maybe I just worded the post wrong but I was only
looking for people to point our my mistakes (which there were plenty
of, but I was on the right track, you have to admit), and the only
reason that I just wanted to get it working was because it is due
today. Maybe I should have said that I just want to figure out why it
is not working, because that is what I meant.

Basically all that I needed was the "ne" and the and "eq", not to make
excuses but it is VERY hard to find that kind of stuff in the book that
I have. Also I needed to change all those ifs to elsif. But I got it
working, just need to tweak it to make it look pretty now. And
speaking of ethics I am not going to post the full working program just
because someone might use it to get out of an assignment, plus I am
sure that you all know what it looks like.

Thanks both John's for the help, John K. your program worked well and I
kind of understand it but unfortunately this is a really really
beginner class and even though it seems pretty simple it would have
stood out like a sore thumb to the instructor, plus I could not have
explained exactly how it worked (see I really am ethical).
