Not registering else statement

Hello My code below works, except for if I reply something other than uppercase or reverse, nothing happens. There is no error message, but it just goes back to this line "treehouse:~/workspace$"

Here is the code, anyone know what is wrong? Thanks in advance

print "Enter name: " name = gets.chomp.capitalize!

if name == "Marshall" puts "That's my name, too!" else puts "Hi, #{name}!" end

print "Modify your name. Type 'uppercase' or 'reverse': " reply = gets.chomp.downcase

case reply when "reverse" puts name.reverse when "uppercase" puts name.upcase when "both" puts name.reverse.upcase else puts = "Ok, maybe later."

end

The statement

puts = "Ok, maybe later."

should be

puts "Ok, maybe later."
