Here is a simple code I wrote for reference. It may or may not help new coders. I dunno. I just got a little bored and wanted to do this little cute program
# Using # makes a grayed out line for comments so that they do not interfere with the code!
=begin
Using the =begin and =end makes it so anything you put inbetween them will be a comment!
=end
#So lets make us a "New word genaretor".
#First step is to make a nice looking title so people usually like using slashes
#To make a cool border and their title. So lets try doing that.
#First thing is we put a puts command,, easy right?
puts "////////////////////////////////////////////"
#Remember we have to use qoutation marks to make it a string("").
#Now I will copy and paste tha to make it my bottom
puts "// The Random Word Genaretor! //"
puts "////////////////////////////////////////////"
#Now I will try it out and see how it looks like!
#It should look like this.
=begin
////////////////////////////////////////////
// The Random Word Genaretor! //
////////////////////////////////////////////
=end
#Looks good to me!
#Now lets use the puts again and introduce them to this simple program.
puts "Welcome to the T.R.W.G. The way this works is you put in a word or letters and then another word and we combine them for you and once we do you will have a brand new word!"
puts " "
#Great introduction!
#Now lets ask them for a word
puts "Can I have a word or some random letters in the form of a word? Thanks!"
puts " "
#Now lets their answer and store it in a variable.
word1 = gets.chomp
# 'word1' is the variable and 'gets.chomp' is what puts whatever the user typed into that variable.
#Now lets ask them for another word.
puts "Can I have another word or a random set of letters in a word?"
puts " "
#Now lets get their input again.
word2 = gets.chomp
#Now we can either make a method containing of the process of combining both words or we can have it in the core of the program.
#I forgot how to do methods but I can still code it into the core of the program.
#Now let us work with a dash of magic.
#Magic is happening below here.
puts "Working our magic to create a new word for you!"
puts " "
word3 = word1 + word2
puts "Done!"
puts " "
puts "Your new word is #{word3}."
puts " "
puts "What a great word! Want to give it a defanition?(Y/N)"
answer = gets.chomp
puts " "
if answer == "y"
answer = "Y"
elsif answer == "n"
answer = "N"
end
until answer == "Y" or answer == "N"
puts "You did not choose Y or N. Please choose one!"
answer = gets.chomp
if answer == "y"
answer = "Y"
elsif answer == "n"
answer = "N"
end
end
if answer == "N"
puts " "
puts "Well we can give one for you!"
defi = "Something that is awesome!"
elsif answer == "Y"
puts" "
puts "Please put your defanition below!"
defi = gets.chomp
end
puts " "
puts "Word: #{word3}"
puts " "
puts "Defanition: #{defi}"
puts " "
puts "Good job, thank you for using the program!"
#Magic is happening above here.
# All done! Now you have a simple program in Ruby to combine words and make a nice little template for them!
Nice job!
