Iam writing a script for my sisters friends little brother

i want the program to say hello lets say his name is Joe and ask him how he is and he can write a reply back saying fine and then it replys "Iam happy you are (his response) today
and then it goes into a basic math where he can put in a number hit enter put in another number and then it tells him the awnser.

Its to work on a win 98 machine and in C or Perl if it has to be

Is there an exact question in there?

Are you asking for the entire answer?

What have you done so far?

Ok - I don't know C, but i know the groundwork to Perl - so here's one Perl solution:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "\nHello Joe, how are you today? ";
chomp( $feelToday = <STDIN> );

print "\nI am happy you are $feelToday today.";
print "\nLet's do some math. What's your first number? ";
chomp( $firstNumber = <STDIN> );

print "\nWhat's your second number? ";
chomp( $secondNumber = <STDIN> );

$mathResult = $firstNumber + $secondNumber;
print "\nThe math result is $mathResult!\n\n";

Just put it in a script, make it executable and run it. Just make sure the first line points to the location of your Perl executable on your system!

Sorry, I don't have perl2exe

You'll have to check the docummentation or website

OK - I was in a good mood; The website is:

http://www.indigostar.com/perl2exe.htm

And under the "Documentation" section, it clearly says:

Usage:
perl2exe myscript.pl

So there you go! Now, having done your child's homework; my fee ... <change register sound>
