Hi,

 

I'm writing a paper comparing the use of Perl, Python and Java. My Perl
is pretty bad (as is my Python), so I thought I would check to see if
there is a more efficient way of doing it.

 

Here is the Perl program

If there is a more efficient, but readable way to write the script
(especially, it would see the first for loop which filters out names
longer than 4 characters) I would really appreciate it.

 

Here is the Java program

Here is the same program in Python

Thanks,

 

Richard
