Adding lengths of strings together in Ruby
- by ppreyer
I'm trying to write a program that takes the length of my first, middle, and last names individually and then adds the total amount of letters up in the end. My answer keeps on being 666 instead of 18. Here is the code I have written:
puts 'What is your first name?'
firstName = gets.chomp
realFirstName = firstName.length.to_i
puts 'What is your middle name?'
middleName = gets.chomp
realMiddleName = middleName.length.to_i
puts 'What is your last name?'
lastName = gets.chomp
realLastName = lastName.length.to_i
puts 'Did you know there are ' + realFirstName.to_s + realMiddleName.to_s + realLastName.to_s + ' letters in your name?'
Just wondering where I went wrong.
