please help! i don’t understand exactly what i have to do. Practice maths in the editor they say. The editor is not the script.rb? I’ve done some exercices but i have an error message. Maybe my syntaxe is not correct?
<Below this line, add a link to the EXACT exercise that you are stuck at.>

<In what way does your code behave incorrectly? Include ALL error messages.>
Replace this line with your code.
<do not remove the three backticks above>60 - 4

Yes the editor is script.rb. What error message are you getting?
Oops, try again. Make sure to do at least one math calculation in the editor!
Could you post a screenshot please?
sorry i don’t know how to do it. i’m looking on google:confused:
like this? …
Yes, thanks, now I can see what you are doing … Don’t type the answers into the editor – just put the math problem and let Ruby get the answer for you.
YESSSS IT WORK! Thank you for your help!!
Yes, this section could use a better set of instructions.
Instead of:
“Do a little math practice in the editor. When you’re ready, click Save & Submit Code to move on to the next exercise.”
they might say:
“Assign a variable a value, and then, using one of the arithmetic operators, write a practice equation for that variable on the next line. When you’re ready, click Save & Submit Code to see if your code worked and to move on to the next exercise.”
Hi, I am stuck in the same spot and after reading these comments, I still don’t understand. I am just putting in the math statement (3 + 4 then hit enter), and there is no output. what exactly do I have to type?
@megbig8 If you already have 3 + 4 in the editor, you should be able to click the ‘Save and Submit Code’ button and move on.
thanks! Was expected it to output, so that’s why I was confused.
This annoyed me beyond belief. I think the course is inconsistent. Sometimes it tells you to create output, sometimes it doesnt.
If you use the other lessons you can figure out how to get output.
