I'm looking over the into of the textbook Programming Ruby 1.9 for which
I have an ebook for.
right away, aside from the boosterism, the language has some interesting
features and syntax
troubles. Lets see my first program is
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
puts "Whatever nonsense"
puts "It is now #{Time.now}"
That is indeed a #{} interpolation
Program 2
#!/usr/bin/ruby
#
def say_goodnight(name)
result = "Good night, " + name
return result
end
def say_goodnight_title(name)
result = "Good night sir #{name.capitalize} \n"
return result
end
# Time for bed...
puts say_goodnight("John-Boy")
puts say_goodnight("Mary-Ellen")
puts say_goodnight("Talyah")
puts say_goodnight("Talyah").length
puts say_goodnight("Talyah").index("T")
puts say_goodnight_title("dovid shimon safir")
No brackets. The brackets are def/end for some things at least.
Should we start a workgroup? I have classes at this point on Tuesday,
Wed and Thursday Nights
I'd like to also study linear algrabra. I have a few textbooks. It is
important for comp.sci and not part of my program.
