I'm trying to run this code: puts 'LEAP YEAR CALCULATOR' puts 'Enter the start year' startyear = gets.chomp.to_i puts ' ' puts 'Enter the end year' endyear = gets.chomp.to_i puts ' ' puts 'The leap years between the years you have entered are:'
while startyear <= endyear if startyear%4 == 0 and startyear%100 != 0 or startyear%400 == 0 #using modulus method %, which returns the remainder when the first number is divided by the second #using the == sign (is this equal), which is different from the = sign (which is an assigning one to the other) puts startyear end startyear = startyear + 1 end When I hit F5 this short program doesn't execute in the right pane. The DOS prompt pops up but with no text, no way to enter text, and the curser sits in the top left corner and flashes. When I try this code: bottles = 100 while bottles > 1 bottles = bottles - 1 line1 = bottles.to_s + ' bottles of beer on the wall,' line2 = bottles.to_s + ' bottles of beer,' line3 = 'if one of those bottles should happen to fall,' line4 = 'there\'d be ' + (bottles - 1).to_s + ' bottles of beer on the wall' line5 = ' ' puts line1 puts line2 puts line3 puts line4 puts line5 end it works! The code executes, 99 bottles of beer on the wall is printed in the right pane, from 100 bottles down to 0 bottles. This program has no input required though, unlike the top one. Yes I am new to this program, and Ruby, and programming. Can anyone help? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/F5-Go-not-working-for-Ruby-code-execution-tf2952508.html#a8257734 Sent from the SciTE mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list Scite-interest@lyra.org http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
