Sample perl programs

1.biggest of two numbers
print "Enter two numbers\n";
$a = <STDIN> ;
$b = <STDIN> ;

if($a>$b)
{$big=$a;}
else
{$big=$b;}

print "biggest=$big";
2.Biggest of 3 numbers
print "Enter three numbers\n";
$a = <STDIN> ;
$b = <STDIN> ;
$c = <STDIN> ;
if ($a >$b and $a > $c)
 {print "biggest is=",$a;}
elsif ($b >$a and $b > $c)
 {print "biggest is=",$b;}
else
 {print  "biggest is=",$c;}
3.printing 1-100 ( for and while)
#print 1-100

for($i=1;$i<=100;$i++)
{
print "$i\n";
}
$i=1
while($i<=100)
{
print "$i\n";
$i=$i+1;
}

4. Creating a 10 elemnt array and sorting it in ascending and descending order
# @a   IS THE ARRAY
print "enter 10 numbers\n";
for($i=0;$i<10;$i++)
{
$x=<STDIN>;
push(@a,$x);
}
@aso=sort { $a <=> $b } @a;
@dso=sort { $b <=> $a } @a;
print "Array is ascending order \n";
print "@aso";
print "Array in descending order \n";
print "@dso";

5.Reading list of 10 names and sorting it

print "enter 10 names\n";
for($i=0;$i<10;$i++)
{
$x=<STDIN>;
push(@a,$x);
}
@aso=sort  @a;
@dso=reverse sort  @a;
print "Names in sorted order \n";
print "@aso";
print "Names in reverse order \n";
print "@dso";


6.Read 5 numbers and find the sum and average
# @a IS THE ARRAY
print "enter 5 numbers\n";

for($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
{
$x=<STDIN>;
push(@a,$x);
}

foreach $x (@a)
{
 $s=$s+$x;
}
$n=@a;
$avg=$s/$n;

print "sum=$s Average= $avg\n";


7. Display all the files in /tmp directory.

$dir = "/tmp/*";
@files = glob( $dir );

foreach (@files )
{
   print $_ . "\n";
}

8.opening a file stud and displaying its contents
open(DATA, "<stud") ;

while(<DATA>)
{
  
  print $_;
}

9.opening a file stud and displaying  rno name only.
open(DATA, "<stud") ;

while(<DATA>)
{
  @a=split('\Q|',$_); # split each line and store it into an array a.
  print "$a[0]   $a[1]\n";
}
10.Read and string and remove all the occurrence of the word 'is'.
print "Enter the string\n";
$str=<STDIN>;
@words=split(' ',$str);
$nw=@words;
print "Number of words=$nw\n";
$ns="";
foreach $w  (@words)  # will take each word from the words array
{
if( $w ne "is")
{
$ns=$ns." ".$w; #creating a new string after removing word is
}
}
print "New String After Removing is.\n";
print "$ns\n";

Writing a Bash Shell Script

Bash shell scripts in Linux are text files that contain a series of commands that can be executed by the Bash shell. Bash (Bourne Again Shell) is a popular shell in Linux and UNIX systems, and shell scripts are used to automate tasks, configure systems, or perform a sequence of operations. How to Write a Bash Shell Script Create a New File: You can create a new script using any text editor like nano , vim , or gedit . gedit myscript.sh Write the Script: A basic shell script begins with a "shebang" ( #!/bin/bash ) to specify the interpreter that will be used to execute the script. The rest of the file contains the commands to be run. Example of a simple script: #!/bin/bash # This is a comment echo "Hello, World!" # Print "Hello, World!" #!/bin/bash : Specifies that the script will be executed using the Bash shell. echo "Hello, World!" : A command that prints the string "Hello, World!" to the terminal. Comments: Any line starting ...

Different syntax for writing arithmetic expressions in bash shell

#!/bin/bash echo "Enter two numbers" read a b s=`expr $a + $b` echo "Sum1=$s" s=$[$a+$b] echo "sum2=$s" ((s=$a+$b)) echo "sum3=$s" ((s=a+b)) echo "sum3=$s" let s=$a+$b echo "sum4=$s" let s=a+b echo "sum4=$s" Note:bash shell support only integer arithmetic.zsh support operations on real numbers.We can use bc in bash shell to do real arithmetic. Eg: echo "$a*$b"|bc # where a and b are real Mathematical Operators With Integers Operator Description Example Evaluates To + Addition echo $(( 20 + 5 )) 25 - Subtraction echo $(( 20 - 5 )) 15 / Division echo $(( 20 / 5 )) 4 * Multiplication echo $(( 20 * 5 )) 100  % Modulus echo $(( 20 % 3 )) 2 ++ post-increment (add variable value by 1) x=5 echo $(( x++ )) echo $(( x++ )) 5 6 -- post-decrement (subtract variable value by 1) x=5 echo $(( x-- )) 4 ** Exponentiation x=2 y=3 echo $(( x ** y )) 8

Linux History and GNU

Linus Torvalds ,a student at the University of Helsinki started developing Linux to create a system similar to MINIX, a UNIX operating system. In 1991 he released version 0.02; Version 1.0 of the Linux kernel, the core of the operating system, was released in 1994. About the same time, American software developer Richard Stallman and the FSF made efforts to create an open-source UNIX-like operating system called GNU. In contrast to Torvalds, Stallman and the FSF started by creating utilities for the operating system first. These utilities were then added to the Linux kernel to create a complete system called GNU/Linux, or, less precisely, just Linux. Linus Torvalds Richard Stallman Linux grew throughout the 1990s because of the efforts of hobbyist developers. Although Linux is not as user-friendly as the popular Microsoft Windows and Mac OS operating systems, it is an efficient and reliable system that rarely crashes. Combined with Apache, an open-source Web server, Linux accounts fo...
