Show HN: Single neuron neural network written in COBOL

Perceptron in COBOL

A perceptron written in COBOL.

About

I've been reading a lot about companies seeking COBOL programmers, so I decided to give it a shot and wrote a perceptron to clissify the Iris dataset.

How to compile

How to use

Run the program

Then enter 4 values.
You can use 5.8 2.5 5.2 1.4 for testing purpose. The result should be one (Iris-versicolor).

On DATA.DAT there's a 5 colum by 100 rows table.
The first 4 colums are features that describe a flower.
The 5th colum is the flower's label.
0 = Iris-setosa
1 = Iris-versicolor
