Error when running the procs versus lambdas test program

I've copied out the procs versus lambdas test code in the video, but when I run the program I get an error. I'm following the same process that's demonstrated for running the file in the terminal.

Could this be an issue related to using a version of ruby that's newer than what's used in the video? Otherwise, I'm stumped.

I just figured it out: the problem only has to do with the style of the quotation marks in the code. I'd copied & pasted the code from my notes on a Word document to Sublime Text, and the quotes were "smart" quotes. By changing the quotes to straight quotes, the problem was solved. Final conclusion: d'oh.

I can't think of anything else. That is a really old course. I'll just give a shout. Jason Seifer !
