17,879 PointsI can't seem to figure this code challenge out. I used the to_i to convert a string to an integer but...
We've assigned the string "123" to a variable named string. Take string, use a method to convert it to an integer, and store the result in a variable named integer. Then call a second method on string to convert it to a floating-point number, and store the result in a variable named float.
string = "123".to_i
float = "123".to_f

string = "123"
integer = string.to_i
float = string.to_f

17,879 Pointsnevermind I got the code to work. I made the silly mistake of not reading everything carefully.
string = "123" integer = string.to_i float = string.to_f
