Error in syntax

[NashTrump]

Hi there,

Im building a small psub procedure to do maths.
Now its a very simple procedure however im getting errors i cant explain:
Heres the code:

my $barone = 10;
my $bartwo = 5;
my $mathage = maths($barone, $bartwo);

line 269 Sub maths{
line 270 ($betone, $bettwo);
line 271 $mather = $betone / $bettwo;
line 272 return $mather;
line 273 }

i get this error:

syntax error at C:\Documents and Settings\Lee Nash\Desktop\GAF Projects\Betting\Perl\betfred.pl line 271, near "$mather "
syntax error at C:\Documents and Settings\Lee Nash\Desktop\GAF Projects\Betting\Perl\betfred.pl line 273, near "}"
Execution of C:\Documents and Settings\Lee Nash\Desktop\GAF Projects\Betting\Perl\betfred.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Can anyone help me on this?

Regards

Nash

Try this:

#!/usr/bin/perl 

use strict;
use warnings;

my $barone = 10;
my $bartwo = 5;
my $mathage = &maths($barone, $bartwo);
print "Returned value: $mathage\n";

sub maths{
my ($betone, $bettwo) = @_;    
my $mather = $betone / $bettwo;
return $mather;
}

You had "sub" with a capital "S", and you didn't declare your variables in the subroutine.

Let us know your results!

Thank you that worked great!!

It was the capital S that knackered me!!
So irritating when i miss something like that

Thanks again
