Assignment 3

Due Thursday 9/24 at the start of class

Read chapters 3 and 4 of the Learning Perl book.

Write a Perl program that does the following

• Reads a list of numbers (on separate lines) until the user enters -1.
• Prints the list of numbers entered by the user. Do not use a loop for this part.
• Prints the list of numbers entered by the user in reverse order. Do not use a loop for this part.
• Prints the largest number that the user entered.
• Prints the smallest number that the user entered.
• Prints the average of the numbers entered.
• Prints all the numbers that are above the average.
• Warning: if the user enters -1 as the first number, then the output should only say that no numbers were entered. Do not calculate the largest, smallest and average numbers for this situation.

Use the script command to create a listing to be handed in. Include the source code and several runs of the program.

Here is an example of the output
