Editor's Notes
- characters and words (strings) sometimes two different things, depending on language
- "Doing stuff" usually doesn't change the variables used. You'd need to use write things like new_variable = my_variable + 2 or my_variable = my_variable + 2 to use this value later.
- address = {'name' => 'Joseph Gilbert', 'street' => '160 McCormick Road', 'city' => 'Charlottesville', 'state' => 'VA', 'zip' => '22902'} puts address['name'] puts address['street'] puts address['city'] + ', ' + address['state'] + ' ' + address['zip']
- authors = {"Charles Dickens" => "1870", "William Thackeray" => "1863", "Anthony Trollope" => "1882", "Gerard Manley Hopkins" => "1889"} authors.each do |author, year| puts author.to_s + " passed away in " + year.to_s end authors.each do |author, year| puts author.to_s + " passed away in " + year.to_s endauthors = {"Charles Dickens" => "1870", "William Thackeray" => "1863", "Anthony Trollope" => "1882", "Gerard Manley Hopkins" => "1889"} authors.each do |author, year| puts author.to_s + " passed away in " + year.to_s endauthors = {"Charles Dickens" => "1870", "William Thackeray" => "1863", "Anthony Trollope" => "1882", "Gerard Manley Hopkins" => "1889"} authors.each do |author, year| puts author.to_s + " passed away in " + year.to_s endauthors = {"Charles Dickens" => "1870", "William Thackeray" => "1863", "Anthony Trollope" => "1882", "Gerard Manley Hopkins" => "1889"} authors.each do |author, year| puts author.to_s + " passed away in " + year.to_s end
