Increment in ruby [solved]

Question

The attached code is my attempt at secret message code coach problem.
The program is supposed to take a string input in a. It then iterates for each character of a and checks if its a space, present in b or present in c. If its present in b or c, it is supposed to print the equivalent character of that position in d.
d is the reverse of b and c in small letters.

The problem here is that when it is iterating through b and c, it doesn't increase the value of count. So the answer is always a string of z's. The letter z is at index 0 in d, and the initial value of count is 0. That means that count is not incremented at all during the iteration.

What is my error? Did I put the incrementation of count in the wrong place or what? I'm really confused as to why count's value isn't increasing

Tarvs

check the code

Your if statement implementation as how it should be done in Ruby is wrong.
you need to put end keyword before incrementing the count variable.

edit:
if(statement)
...
end

#CODE:
#check out my question on this code
#once the question is answered,the code goes
a = gets.chomp
b = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
c = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
d = "zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba"
a = a.split('')
b = b.split('')
c = c.split('')
d = d.split('')
for i in a
if i==" "
print " "
else
ct = 0
for j in b
if i==j
print d[ct]
end
ct += 1
end
ct = 0
for k in c
if i==k
print d[ct]
end
ct += 1
end
end
end
