# 1. assign the number 2015 to a variable named `this_year`
this_year = 2015

# 2. assign the number 2020 to a variable named `event_year`
event_year = 2020

# 3. calculate the difference in years and assign the value to `years_remaining`

# 4. use concatenation to create a message which reads: 
#    There are _ years until the big event.
message = "There are " + years_remaining.to_s + " years until the big event."

# 5. output the previous message, without a newline at the end
print message

# 6. output a newline
print "\n"


# 7. use interpolation to output the following message, ending with a newline:
#    I can't wait until _ for the big event... Only _ years to go!
puts "I can't wait until #{event_year} for the big event... Only #{years_remaining} years to go!"

# Nice work! BONUS TIME!

# Don't worry at all if you don't finish these before class, you can go back and
# practice more later :)

# 8. create a list named `contact_info` with the following elements:
#    * your name
#    * your state
#    * your zip code
#    * number of years (or some number) you have lived in at your address

# 9. output the following message:
#    Hello!
#    
#    My name is _. It's nice to meet you.
#    I have lived in _ for _ years.
puts "Hello!"
