Question

https://code.sololearn.com/ciJa46dk5suT/?ref=app

Answer 1

method(){<start of scope/block

variables/statements go here

end of scope/block>}

Answer 2

Use it like this:

if answer == "no"
puts "boo"
else
puts "yay"
end

Make sure to use the comparison operator ==, not the assignment operator =.

Answer 3

I don't know what #{answer} is, doesn't look like Ruby to me (but I haven't worked with Ruby for months). If you just use answer, it works

Answer 4

I got it from here https://learnrubythehardway.org/book/ex11.html
but it looks like I don't fully understand its use and purpose.
thanks for your help

Answer 5

Oh, I understand now. #{} is a placeholder to insert an input from gets to a string.
I used it incorrectly thinking it was needed every time an input was used.
It's all coming together.

Answer 6

thanks for the answer. I can get things to work when I only need one action plus a puts. but when I want to do ifs and else's i get lost. especially when the ifs and else's rely on a gets

Answer 7

hi Anna
I had tried both. either way it still outputs both "boo" and "yay" regardless of the answer given.
I've included your change in the code now.
thanks
