Exercise 11 - Learn Ruby the Hard Way

gistfile1.rb

# the print method prints the following string;
print "What is your name? "

# the variable "name" is assigned the input received from
#  the user using the method "gets"; 
# "chomp" returns the cursor to a new line
name = gets.chomp()


# the print method prints the following string;
print "How old are you? "
 
# the variable "age" is assigned the input received from
#  the user using the method "gets"; 
# "chomp" returns the cursor to a new line
age = gets.chomp()
 
# the puts method prints the string;
print "How tall are you? "
 
 
# the variable height is assignned the variable which
# is received by the user (using the method gets); 
# chomp returns the cursor to a new line
height = gets.chomp()

# the puts method prints the string;
print "How much do you weigh? "
 
# the variable weight is assignned the variable which
# is received by the user (using the method gets); 
# chomp returns the cursor to a new line
weight = gets.chomp()

# the puts method prints the string; using string interpolation the variables for age, height and weight are embedded into the string
puts "So #{name}, you're #{age} years old, #{height} tall and #{weight} pounds."


Here is a variation on this exercise...


print "What is your name? "
name = gets.chomp()

print "How many pets do you have? "
pet_amt = gets.chomp()
 
print "What is the name of your favorite pet? "
pet_fav_name = gets.chomp()

print "What kind of animal is your pet? "
animal = gets.chomp()

print "What is your other pet's name? "
pet_other_name = gets.chomp()

puts "So #{name}, you have #{pet_amt} pets, your favorite pet, 
#{pet_fav_name}, the  #{animal}, distracts you; while #{pet_other_name}, 
is in your fridge, eating your food."
