See Answers to Chapter 6 Exercises for answers to the following exercises:
[7] Write a program that will ask the user for a given name and report the corresponding family name. Use the names of people you know, or (if you spend so much time on the computer that you don’t know any actual people) use the following table:
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
fred | flintstone |
barney | rubble |
wilma | flintstone |
[15] Write a program that reads a series of words (with one
word per line[187]) until end-of-input, then prints a summary of how many
times each word was seen. (Hint: remember that when an undefined
value is used as if it were a number, Perl automatically converts it
to 0. It may help to look back at
the earlier exercise that kept a running total.) So, if the input
words were fred, barney, fred, dino, wilma, fred (all on separate lines), the output
should tell us that fred was seen
3 times. For extra credit, sort
the summary words in code point order in the output.
