I did finish reading all of chapter 7 except for doing the exercises, which I naively thought I would breeze through. Which I did except for the 2nd example. Here's that code finished...FINALLY!!
Sublime Text 2: View
puts 'Say hello to your Grandma'
while true
input = gets.chomp
if input == 'BYE'
puts 'See ya\' later gator :)'
break
end
if input != input.upcase
puts 'HUH?! SPEAK UP, SONNY!'
else
random_year = 1930 + rand(21)
puts ' No not since ' + random_year.to_s + ' !' ' ...it was a LONG time ago, as I recall.'
end
end
Kind of fun actually, I tried coding it on my Droid using the "Ruboto IRB' and couldn't get it to work, kept getting:
'=> NoMethodError: private method 'chomp' called for nil:NilClass (root) at deafgrandma.rb3 nil
So I see it has a problem with the Method 'chomp', and I see it's on line 3. I don't understand the 'private Method' part, gonna' look it up, and tell you all what I found out tomorrow.-Josh Kemp
P.S. If anyone knows or has seen this before, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
