Perl Code

Missing Something!

[jimijoe]

Hi,

When I write:
print "Tom paid $105.65 for his book.\n";

It shows as:
Tom paid .65 for his book.

$105 disappeared!

How should I write it to see "$" and all other Signs correctly?

Thanks,

print "Tom paid \$105.65 for his book.\n";

add backslash in front.

Thanks,
It works fine.

The $ character delcares a variable, and the . is a concatenator in Perl
