It will just output two blank lines to the screen when it should be printing the card id and the balance
I have completely re-written the code.
I have fiddled with that code for an hour
class RBC
def initialize
#args = ["Create a new card"]
#functions = ["create_rbc"]
puts "Do you have an RBC ID yet? Yes(0) No(1)"
hasrbc = gets.chomp.to_i
if hasrbc == 1
#balance = 5
create_rbc
else
login
end
end
def create_rbc
puts "\nGenerating your rbc\n\n"
puts "\nWelcome to your Ruby Binary Card(RBC)!\n\n"
puts "Your RBC will keep track of your RubyCredits(RC).\n"
puts "You will get paid RC for work apps, and pay for game apps.\n"
puts "If you lose track of your RBC ID, you can get a new one.\n"
puts "Doing this, however, will reset your balance to the default of $5\n\n"
puts "What is your name? Do first last\n"
#fullname = gets.chomp
#card_name = get_name_codec(#fullname)
#card_cipher = "#{rand(1..9)}#{rand(1..9)}#{rand(1..9)}#{rand(1..9)}#{rand(1..9)}#{rand(1..9)}#{rand(1..9)}#{rand(1..9)}#{rand(1..9)}#{rand(1..9)}"
#card_id = "#{#card_name} - #{#card_cipher}"
instance_variable_set("#Id#{#card_cipher}", #balance)
puts "Write down your RBC ID: #{#card_id}"
file = File.open("Cards.rbc", "w")
file.puts #card_id
file.puts #balance
end
end
def get_name_codec(name)
names = name.split(" ")
fname = names[0]
lname = names[1]
fchar = fname.split(//)
fcodec = "#{fchar[0]}#{fchar[1]}"
name_codec = "#{fcodec}#{lname}"
return name_codec
end
def login
#found = false
puts "What is your RBC Id"
input = gets.chomp
File.open("Cards.RBC", "r") do |f|
f.each_line do |line|
if input == "#{line}"
#card_id = line.to_s
#found == true
elsif #found == true
#balance = line.to_i
end
end
end
puts "#{#card_id}#{#balance}"
end
RBC.new
Then the Cards.RBC
TiLan - 1122632527
5
I want it to print the balance and card Id.
It should give me my card id and then the balance like this:
0000...etc
5
input = gets.chomp removes the newline off the input, but f.each_line does not. So input == "#{line}" is comparing, for example, "1234" with "1234\n".
Chomp the line as well.
input = gets.chomp
File.open("Cards.RBC", "r") do |f|
f.each_line do |line|
line.chomp!
if input == line
#card_id = line
#found == true
elsif #found == true
#balance = line.to_i
end
end
end
You can debug this sort of thing by printing the values with p. This will show them as quoted strings and show any special characters including newlines.
p line
p input
I created a calculator in ruby. I am wondering how to put this in a loop so I don't have to run it constantly. I am new to programming so please understand I am I just trying to learn. I would appreciate any help provided.
puts "Hello, My name is Calvin The Calculator and I am a calculator that can do basic functions such as Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying and Dividing"
puts "Press a and enter to enable my services"
enable = gets.chomp
if enable == "a"
puts "Choose which operation you want to do. + for adding, - for subtraction, * for multiplication and / for division"
else
"Puts Im Waiting..."
end
which_operation = gets.chomp
if which_operation == "+"
puts "What is the first number you want to add"
adding_first_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "What is the second number you want to add to #{adding_first_number}"
adding_second_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "#{adding_first_number} + #{adding_second_number} is #{adding_first_number + adding_second_number}"
else
end
if which_operation == "-"
puts "What is the first number you want to subtract"
subtracting_first_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "What is the number you want to subtract from #{subtracting_first_number}"
subtracting_second_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "#{subtracting_first_number} - #{subtracting_second_number} is #{subtracting_first_number - subtracting_second_number}"
else
end
if which_operation == "*"
puts "What is the first number you want to multiple"
multiplying_first_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "What is the number you want to multiple #{multiplying_first_number} by"
multiplying_second_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "#{multiplying_first_number} * by #{multiplying_second_number} is #{multiplying_first_number * multiplying_second_number}"
else
end
if which_operation == "/"
puts "What is the first number to your divison question?"
dividing_first_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "What is the divisor?"
dividing_second_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "#{dividing_first_number} divided by #{dividing_second_number} is #{dividing_first_number / dividing_second_number}"
else
end
For example:
until (which_operation = gets.chomp).empty?
if which_operation == "+"
...
end
if which_operation == "-"
...
end
if which_operation == "*"
...
end
if which_operation == "/"
...
end
end
This loop will work until you press Enter without entering any text before it.
P.S.: Better use case operator instead of multiple if.
P.P.S.: All your code, after loop addition and without case operator, will be:
puts "Hello, My name is Calvin The Calculator and I am a calculator that can do basic functions such as Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying and Dividing"
puts "Press a and enter to enable my services"
until gets.chomp == "a"
puts "I'm Waiting..."
end
puts "Choose which operation you want to do. + for adding, - for subtraction, * for multiplication and / for division"
until (which_operation = gets.chomp).empty?
if which_operation == "+"
puts "What is the first number you want to add"
adding_first_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "What is the second number you want to add to #{adding_first_number}"
adding_second_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "#{adding_first_number} + #{adding_second_number} is #{adding_first_number + adding_second_number}"
elsif which_operation == "-"
puts "What is the first number you want to subtract"
subtracting_first_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "What is the number you want to subtract from #{subtracting_first_number}"
subtracting_second_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "#{subtracting_first_number} - #{subtracting_second_number} is #{subtracting_first_number - subtracting_second_number}"
elsif which_operation == "*"
puts "What is the first number you want to multiple"
multiplying_first_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "What is the number you want to multiple #{multiplying_first_number} by"
multiplying_second_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "#{multiplying_first_number} * by #{multiplying_second_number} is #{multiplying_first_number * multiplying_second_number}"
elsif which_operation == "/"
puts "What is the first number to your divison question?"
dividing_first_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "What is the divisor?"
dividing_second_number = gets.chomp.to_i
puts "#{dividing_first_number} divided by #{dividing_second_number} is #{dividing_first_number / dividing_second_number}"
end
puts "\nLet's try again: "
end
I hope I'm not too annoying . I started ruby 2 weeks ago.
I'm trying to put my calculator in a loop so it restart after calculation ends. Something like "Would you like to try again?"
def add(a, b)
puts "ADDING #{a} + #{b}"
puts "The result is #{a + b}"
end
def arg1()
puts "You chose option 1"
print "please enter first entry "
first_number = gets.to_i
print "Please enter second entry "
second_number = gets.to_i
add(first_number,second_number)
end
def selection()
puts "please enter your option : "
puts "For Adding : 1 "
puts "For Subtacting : 2 "
print "> "
end
selection
options_of_choice = gets.to_i
if options_of_choice == 1
arg1()
elsif options_of_choice == 2
arg2()
else
puts " Restarting"
end
calculator_on = true
while calculator_on
selection
options_of_choice = gets.to_i
if options_of_choice == 1
arg1()
elsif options_of_choice == 2
arg2()
else
puts " Restarting"
end
puts "do you want to try again?"
calculator_on = gets.chomp.downcase == 'y'
end
class UnitCircle
def prompt
puts "Enter a number: "
#number = gets
#number = #number.to_i
puts "Enter a trigonometric equation to perform on that number: "
#eqn = gets
end
end
uc = UnitCircle.new
uc.prompt
num = Math.send(uc.instance_eval {#eqn}, uc.instance_eval {#number})
When I try to run it with say,
#number = 30
#eqn = sin
I get a no method error, why?
class UnitCircle
def prompt
puts "Enter a number: "
#number = gets.chomp
#number = #number.to_i
puts "Enter a trigonometric equation to perform on that number: "
#eqn = gets.chomp
end
end
gets method will include the new line symbol "\n". So you have to chomp it.
If you do not chomp, you will end up calling method "sin\n" instead of "sin"
Hi Im getting an core error which is really standard I suppose in Ruby but dont know what to make of it. I have a program that I have written. Its purpose is to register guests at a camping. You have a menu with 5 different options. 1. Checkin. When i do this I get a undefined method generateParkingLot' for #<Camping:0x10030a768> (NoMethodError)
When I choose Checkout I get a undefined local variable or methoddeparture' for Menu:Class (NameError).
So please i someone has a clue to my problem it would be great. I will here paste all my code. The code is separated in different files and I have used require for the different files. Here though I will paste all the code in one trace. Thankful for all help.

It looks (although I haven't tried this out) like some of your your 'end's are wrong.
The one which is causing your first error (generateParkingLot undefined) is that generateParkingLot is actually defined inside to_s, so you need an extra 'end' at the end of your to_s method.
As for the second error (departure not recognised), the folowing line in self.check_out is at fault:
#departure = departure
because there is no 'departure' variable. (Perhaps you meant DepartureDate?). I suspect there may be a few other issues with this code, but I'm afraid I don't really have time to check now.
One I noticed was that when you have
32.times do |nr|
#parking_lots[nr] = Parking_Lot.new(nr)
I think you might want to end that, either with an 'end' or curly brackets, e.g.
32.times do |nr|
#parking_lots[nr] = Parking_Lot.new(nr)
end
Although that would make your other blocks not match.. In general, just try and make sure your blocks are all defined properly (e.g. everything has a matching end).
