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!

perlivp - Perl Installation Verification Procedure
SYNOPSIS
perlivp [-p] [-v] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The perlivp program is set up at Perl source code build time to test the Perl version it was built under. It can be used after running:
make install
(or your platform's equivalent procedure) to verify that perl and its libraries have been installed correctly. A correct installation is
verified by output that looks like:
ok 1
ok 2
etc.
OPTIONS -h help
Prints out a brief help message.
-p print preface
Gives a description of each test prior to performing it.
-v verbose
Gives more detailed information about each test, after it has been performed. Note that any failed tests ought to print out some
extra information whether or not -v is thrown.
DIAGNOSTICS
o print "# Perl binary '$perlpath' does not appear executable.
";
Likely to occur for a perl binary that was not properly installed. Correct by conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Perl version '$]' installed, expected $ivp_VERSION.
";
Likely to occur for a perl that was not properly installed. Correct by conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Perl @INC directory '$_' does not appear to exist.
";
Likely to occur for a perl library tree that was not properly installed. Correct by conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Needed module '$_' does not appear to be properly installed.
";
One of the two modules that is used by perlivp was not present in the installation. This is a serious error since it adversely affects
perlivp's ability to function. You may be able to correct this by performing a proper perl installation.
o print "# Required module '$_' does not appear to be properly installed.
";
An attempt to "eval "require $module"" failed, even though the list of extensions indicated that it should succeed. Correct by
conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Unnecessary module 'bLuRfle' appears to be installed.
";
This test not coming out ok could indicate that you have in fact installed a bLuRfle.pm module or that the "eval " require
"$module_name.pm"; "" test may give misleading results with your installation of perl. If yours is the latter case then please let
the author know.
o print "# file",+($#missing == 0) ? '' : 's'," missing from installation:
";
One or more files turned up missing according to a run of "ExtUtils::Installed -> validate()" over your installation. Correct by
conducting a proper installation.
For further information on how to conduct a proper installation consult the INSTALL file that comes with the perl source and the README
file for your platform.
