Hi Daniel,
I'm also working through this book and having a lot of fun with it.
This is what I ended up with on the Granma prog (I added to the middle
part so she'd say a final farewell message, although obviously that
could be reduced to just "if speech == 'BYE' bye_num = bye_num + 1
else... etc" to make the prog shorter):
bye_num = 0
while bye_num != 3
puts 'What do you have to say to Granma?'
speech = gets.chomp
if speech == 'BYE'
if bye_num == 2
puts 'OKAY, LEAVE ME THEN.'
bye_num = bye_num + 1
else
puts 'WHAT\'S THAT DEAR?'
bye_num = bye_num + 1
end
else
bye_num = 0
if speech == speech.upcase
puts 'NO, NOT SINCE 19' + (rand(21) + 30).to_s + '!'
else
puts 'HUH?! SPEAK UP, SONNY!'
end
end
end
Take care,
Matt
