HI! I used the code as below, to substitute “s” with “th” but when user input has an “s” it was not changed on screen to a “th” did I do something wrong or was it not supposed to change onscreen?
Thanks!
print "Pleathe enter a thtring: "
user_input = gets.chomp
user_input.downcase!
if user_input.include? “s”
user_input.gsub!(/s/,“th”)
else
puts “Well, thakth for nuthin!”
end
When using the bang method, we need the user to include at least one uppercase letter else user_input will become nil. That will raise an exception when this line is encountered…
if user_input.include? "s"
since nil has no attribute, include.
To get around this, either enter user_input as uppercase or do not use the bang method.
Hi there! I think there is some problem with the platform every time I try to put a string input I cannot write anything and the execution expires even if I try with your solution
After you click the “Run” button, the terminal will prompt you for input.
After the prompt is shown, make sure you mouse click on the terminal window. This will select/highlight the terminal and will allow you to type in the terminal.
