Assign the string "Ruby" to a variable named language. Then assign the string "awesome" to a variable named description.

Assign the string "Ruby" to a variable named language. Then assign the string "awesome" to a variable named description. Then make a single call to puts and pass it two arguments: the language and description variables.

variables.rb 
language = "Ruby"
description = "awesome"

puts language
puts description

Pay attention to what the challenge is asking you to do here. It wants you to make a single call to puts, but you're making 2. You need to call puts once, but pass both language and description as parameters to the single puts call

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply.

I got it wrong with this message ( Bummer! Please call "puts" only once.). I don't know how to make once puts.

Thanks again.
