Programming for

Everybody

1. Intro to Ruby
Puts & Prints
Two commands we use to print info to the
console

PRINT
prints to the console whatever you give it

PUTS
prints to the console whatever you give it and
adds a new blank line below
Data Types
1. STRINGS
words or sentences
always go within “ “

2. NUMBERS
integers (whole numbers) and floats (decimal numbers)
shouldn’t be wrapped with “ “

3. BOOLEANS
true or false
shouldn’t be wrapped with “ “
Variables
A word to which we assign a certain content (string,
number, boolean)

We set it and it it remains there, ready for future use

Naming a variable: always small letters with words


separated by _ (ex: my_name)

Assigning a value to a variable: we use the = sign


(ex: my_name = “Mariana”)
Math
With Ruby we can perform the following math operations:

Addition +
Subtraction -
Multiplication *
Division /
Exponentiation **
Modulo %
Built in methods
“Special behaviour” Ruby data has that we can summon

We call methods with a . plus the method name

https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.3/Method.html

The ! after a method changes the content of the original


variable for good
Commenting out in Ruby

SINGLE LINE COMMENTS


#I’m a single line comment

MULTIPLE LINE COMMENTS


=begin
I’m a multiple line
comment
=end
String interpolation

name = “Mariana”

puts “My name is #{name}”

result -> My name is Mariana


Gets & Chomps

GETS
Gets input from the user and ads a blank line after each input

CHOMP
Removes that extra line
Thank you! :)
