The Solution

6:01 with Jay McGavren

Now that you've coded your solution to the practice problem, I'll show you how I did it.

Here's my code:

# Prompt the user to enter a verb, and store what they enter
# in a variable named "verb".
print "Please enter a verb: "
verb = gets.chomp

# Prompt the user to enter a noun, and store what they enter
# in a variable named "noun".
print "Please enter a noun: "
noun = gets.chomp

# Prompt the user to enter an adjective, and store what they
# enter in a variable named "adjective".
print "Please enter an adjective: "
adjective = gets.chomp

# Prompt the user to enter a second noun, and store what they
# enter in a variable named "noun2".
print "Please enter another noun: "
noun2 = gets.chomp

# Fill in the #{} marker to include the contents of the
# "verb" variable in the below string.
puts "One day, I decided to learn to #{verb} in Ruby."
# Use the contents of the "noun" variable in this sentence.
puts "So I turned on my #{noun} and logged in to Treehouse."
# Use the contents of the "adjective" variable in this sentence.
puts "Their teachers were really #{adjective}."
# Use the contents of the "noun2" variable in this sentence.
puts "In no time, I'd learned to program a simple #{noun2}!"

    so on, stored the answers and used those answers to fill-in blanks in a story. 0:00
    Here's my solution. 0:00
    It's okay if yours is slightly different, but if you see something interesting in my 0:02
    code, you should consider borrowing it to improve your own program. 0:05
    So, first we needed to prompt the user to enter a verb. 0:09
    I called the print method to display the prompt and passed a string to it. 0:13
    The reason I used print instead of put add, is that print doesn't add a new 0:16
    line on to the end of whatever string it prints, so that the prompt appears 0:21
    right there on the same line where the user types their entry. 0:26
