How to implement user input?

Question

How would I make a text box for user to input which then determines the value of a variable with a string when outputted.

Answer 1

variable = gets
puts variable

input will already be string 😀

Answer 2

Not easily.

Ruby is not like the web languages.

Depends where the test box will be, whether desktop or web app.

You use and html form.

Then you have ruby store the data, then use the stored data.

I plan to do it soon using ruby on rails.

I do not know your experience.
To do I as I would, you need to have fullstack developments skills.

If you do it alone. Without others doing other parts of the project.

Requires.

Html5

Ruby and Rails experience

Database experience ( I use sqlite or PostgreSQL)

Answer 4

add more gets or

variable = gets.chomp.split(“ “)

to chain multiple inputs in one variable once you start getting into arrays.
