You cannot simply add strings and numbers together; you must convert
number to string first.

Try this code:

puts (2+4).to_s + ' is the sum of 2+4.'

and

puts 'Hello, what is your favorite number?'
number = gets.chomp
better = number.to_i+1
puts number.to_s + '?? Don\t you know that ' + better.to_s + 'is a superior
selection?'

But the right way to do this is to use expression inlining, such as there:

puts "#{2+4} is the sum of 2+4."

or

puts "#{number}?? Don\t you know that #{better} is a superior
selection?"

It does .to_s implicitly. Notice the double quotes, it won't work with single.

I think it is foolish to wait for Islam to die off on its own. I have
always maintained a Pig Poop attack on Mecca would cause a hasty
death to child molester Mohammad's perversion.

No nation on earth that led the human race ever stayed doing the
same. No one thought Rome will weaken. By the end of the Roman
Empire, Ceasarship was for sale to highest bidder. Some ceasars were
not Romans. Muslims advanced civilization for about eight hundred
years. USA is less than two hundred and fifty years and it has been
leading mankind for about sixty years.

There is a story about a Jew making a dump within sight of the Prophet
Mohammed. One day this stopped. The Prophet Mohammed sent his men
after him to find out why he stopped his open dump.
Feces and sewage are the main themes of interest of Jews. They get
high on hydrogen sulfide.

I think that all toilets should have a picture of the 'prophet' - along
with a copy of the Koran - at the bottom of the toilet bowl, so that we
can all shit on them.

I applaud all those who burn the Koran. I support all efforts to destroy
every copy of this disgusting garbage.

I remember that from before. If you remember too, I mentioned that
Saudi Arabia is getting such poop as is dominated by USA and Israel.
Now Saudi Arabia is thinking twice about your poop. It wants to shift
its interests towards China and India. How about them apples?
