Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at main.pl line xx

[cpfevr692590]

Guys I am writing a program in perl to loop through an array of integers read in from a file line by line, then notice patterns of numbers in each line and output triples(3 of the same numbers occuring consecutively), pairs(only two of the same numbers occuring consecutively) and straights (three numbers occuring consecutively,each proceeding 1 more than the last).
I keep getting this error however:

Now sorted: 
1 1 1 3 3 3 4 4 4 7 7 7 9 9 Vulnerable   Triples: 4 Pairs: 1 Straights: 0
2 2 2 3 4 5 6 6 6 7 7 7 8 9 Vulnerable   Triples: 3 Pairs: 0 Straights: 4
1 2 2 3 3 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 9 9 Vulnerable   Triples: 2 Pairs: 1 Straights: 5
1 2 3 3 4 5 5 5 6 7 8 9 9 9 Vulnerable   Triples: 2 Pairs: 1 Straights: 5
1 2 3 3 4 4 4 5 6 7 7 8 9   Immune
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 9 Immune

I have spent days trying to solve this. Please let me know what I may be doing incorrectly?! Below is the snippet of code that is not working for me.

foreach $line(@lines)
{ 
  chomp $line;
  @nums = split / /, $line; 
  #print "this is nums: @nums\n";
  @snums = sort { $a <=> $b } @nums;
  #print "this is @snums\n";
  $size = @snums;
  $pairs = 0;
  $straights = 0;
  $triples = 0;

  #if not equal to 14 characters output vulnerable
  if($size == 1)
  {
    $susceptibility = "";
  }
  elsif($size != 14 && $size != 1)
  {
    $susceptibility = "Immune";
    print "@snums"."\t".$susceptibility."\n";
  }
  elsif($size == 14)
  {
    $i = 0;
    #check for gene combinations
    #while($i <= $#snums)
    for $i(0..$#snums)
    {
      #Check for triples
      if(($snums[$i] == $snums[$i+1]) && ($snums[$i] == $snums[$i+2]
      ))
      {
        $triples ++;
      }
      #Check for pairs
      if(($nums[$i] == $nums[$i+1]) && ($nums[$i] != $nums[$i+2])
      && ($nums[$i] != $nums[$i-1]))
      {
        $pairs ++;
      }
      #Check for straights
      if(($nums[$i] == ($nums[($i+1)]-1)) && ($nums[$i+1] == 
      ($nums[($i+2)]-1)))
      {
        $straights ++;
      }
    }
 $susceptibility = "Vulnerable";
 $infected ++;
 print "@nums"."\t".$susceptibility."\t"." Triples: $triples"." Pairs: $pairs"." Straights: $straights"."\n";
  }
 }

Hellop,

It is hard to tell with out all of the code but I am guessing that line 90 in your error messages is line 14 above. Do you initialize $size anywhere with something like:

my $size = 0;

Hi,
Is either you are working with MaddTechwf or you are the same person with a different username. Like I mentioned on his trends which is marked solved, there are better way of doing what he wants.
Moreover, except I don't understand his requirement, how are you getting your straight count?
Using the concept of what was posted, please check the modified script below:

use warnings;
use strict;

# check that a file is given on the CLI
die "USAGE: perlsscript.pl input_file.txt " unless defined $ARGV[0];

my %data_collector;
my $original_data;
my $result_for_display;

## open the file
open my $fh, '<', $ARGV[0] or die "can't open file: $!";
my $sample_size = <$fh>;

## test the sample size
$sample_size =
  ( $sample_size >= 1 && $sample_size <= 200_000 )
  ? $sample_size
  : "Invalid Sample Size\n";

while (<$fh>) {

    $original_data .= $_;     # get original data

    # call the subroutine get_stat & give it an Array ref of sorted data
    push @$result_for_display, get_stat( [ sort { $a <=> $b } (split) ] );
}

close $fh or die "can't close file: $!";  # close your file

# print out the sample size & original data looks
print "\nSample size = ", $sample_size, $/,
  "Here are the original Sample: ", $/,
  $original_data, $/;

# get_stat subroutine  
sub get_stat {

    my @data = @{ shift(@_) };

    if ( scalar @data != 14 ) {
        return join( ' ' => @data, "\t", "Immune" ), $/;
    }
    my %counter;
    my %present = (
        Tripples => 0,
        Pairs    => 0,
        Straight => 0,
    );
    $counter{$_}++ for @data;

    for ( keys %counter ) {
        $present{Tripples}++ if $counter{$_} == 3;
        $present{Pairs}++    if $counter{$_} == 2;
        $present{Straight}++ if $counter{$_} == 1;
    }

    return <<"VALUE";
@data\tVulnerable\tTripples: $present{Tripples} Pairs: $present{Pairs} Straight: $present{Straight}

VALUE

}

# print out your final report looks
print $_ for @$result_for_display;

Which will produce the following output:

Sample size = 6

Here are the original Sample:
