bash script

[Guest_imported]

I want to know how to write a bash script and perl script that asks for the temperature outside and prints "too hot" if the temperature is above 85, "too cold" if the temperature is below 68, and "just right" if the temperature is between 68 and 85.

Thanks for your help

Here you go.

print "Enter temperature :";
chomp($temp=<>);
if($temp > 85){
[tab]print &quot;too hot\n&quot;;
} elsif($temp > 65){
[tab]print &quot;just right\n&quot;;
} else {
[tab]print &quot;too cold\n&quot;;
}

Now then - if you use that little script, as is, in your assignment you will get a failing grade. It's about as friendly as a kick in the butt, it doesn't make sure that the user enters a number - and a couple of other things. Asking a stupid question *will* get you a stupid answer.
