Reading Text


To get started reading text in Ruby, follow these steps:

1. Enter this code in a new file, gets.rb:
   
   Quote:

   print “Please enter the temperature: “ gets chomp puts “The temperature is #{$_}.”

2. Save the file and run it.
3. Ruby displays the prompt Please enter the temperature: and then waits for a response from you:
   
   Quote:

   C:\rubydev>ruby gets.rb Please enter the temperature:

4. Enter a temperature and press Enter. Ruby reads the text that you have entered, chomps the
   newline character off the end of it, and displays the resulting text:
