Hi Brandon,
I am writing up what you just said for my keepers file.
Would you please define for me what you mean by the following:
1) expressions
2) the difference between "expressions" and "general expressions"
3) Quoting. The difference between "" and <>
4) "interpolating" as it refers to Perl (not math, where you "guess"
what a value is based on values on both sides of you).
Many thanks,
-T
Did a bad interpolation on a matrix once and the bad formula
turned out to be a sine wave which really messing up
interpolating based on it. Chuckle!
Always a good idea to graph your formula before using it
to guess values!
