[B]"redo" in perl[/B]

I knew this would not work because of problem with "redo". Is there a way to fix this? Thanks a lot!


Code:
my @n = (10..100);
my $i;
my $j = 0;
my $k;

LINE1: for ($i; $i < 10; $i++) {
   $k = $n[int rand @n];
   $j += $k;
}

if ( ((550 - $j) < 10) || ((550 - $j) > 100) ) {
   redo LINE1; 
}

Perhaps you could elaborate a bit on what this is supposed to do, and how it fails to accomplish that.

The biggest problem is that redo is outside a loop. There is nothing to redo. Maybe this is what you mean to do (with print commands added for tracking process) :

Code:
my @n = (10..100);
my $i;
my $j;

LINE1: for ($i; $i < 10; $i++) {
   $i = $n[int rand @n];
   $j += $i;
   if ( ((5500 - $j) < 10) || ((5500 - $j) > 100) ) {
      print qq{Inside "if" condition $j\n};
      redo LINE1; 
   }
   print $j,"\n"; 
}

Next time do as "era" has asked and elaborate a bit more. It's too hard to guess at your intentions or what your code should do.

Sorry I should make this more clear. Thanks to era and KevinADC for help.

The question I tried to solve equals to:
Randomly divide a 5500 feet rope into 10 pieces, and the length of every piece should be (10..100) feet.

Is this school/class/course work?

No, it is not. But I finally figure out I can use "goto" instead of "redo" just now.
Thanks for help!
