So i am just practicing an two problems.

Question

One the response method i created isnt triggering an two on line 46 after dive its telling me its expecting a keyword end? But there is no statements near the puts dive. Heres my syntax:

def adding
  print " choose number "
  num1 = gets.chomp.to_i
  puts" choose what you wanna add " 
  num2 = gets.chomp.to_i
  puts"Now adding: "
return num1 + num2
  end 

def subtract

  print"Choose one number"
  sub = gets.chomp.to_i
  puts " choose what to minus"
  sub2 = gets.chomp.to_i
  puts "Now subtracting:"
  return sub - sub2
  end

def divide 
  print " divide"
  div1 = gets.chomp.to_f
  puts"Divide by "
  div2 = gets.chomp.to_f
  "Dividing: "

  return div1 / div2
  end

def response(add,sub,div)
  if add 
    puts " response to adding "
    elsif sub
    puts "We losing numbers"
   else div
    puts" Going halves "
    end

add = adding
sub = subtract
 dive = divide
  r = response

puts add
puts sub
puts dive

You are missing an end in your response function. You have an end to the if statement, but not one for the the function itself.

def response(add,sub,div)
    if add 
      puts " response to adding "
    elsif sub
      puts "We losing numbers"
   else div
      puts" Going halves "
    end
end

Hi, So for your response function it's taking 3 arguments but nothing is being passed in it. You will also want to have the user have some sort of option with the if statement in order to go thru it. Take a look at what I did with your code. I added a case statement for easier use then called the function at the end and it will print what the user wants.

def adding
  print " choose number "
  num1 = gets.chomp.to_i
  puts" choose what you wanna add " 
  num2 = gets.chomp.to_i
  puts"Now adding: "
return num1 + num2
  end 

def subtract

  print"Choose one number"
  sub = gets.chomp.to_i
  puts " choose what to minus"
  sub2 = gets.chomp.to_i
  puts "Now subtracting:"
  return sub - sub2
  end

def divide 
  print " divide"
  div1 = gets.chomp.to_f
  puts"Divide by "
  div2 = gets.chomp.to_f
  "Dividing: "

  return div1 / div2
  end

def response()
  add = adding()#this calls your function and assigns to variable that can be use in this function
sub = subtract()
 div = divide()
 print "choose a type to display (add,sub,div)"#ask for user input
  answer=gets.chomp.downcase#takes in user input
 case answer
   when "add"
    puts " response to adding #{add} "#string int. for variable
 when "sub"
    puts "We losing numbers #{sub}"
  when "div"
    puts" Going halves #{div}"
    end
  end



puts response()#calls response function and prints output to screen

Hope this make sense

The beauty of coding is there's various ways to approach and solve problems. In general if you want to write nice clean code you make something a function/method if you find you're repeating it throughout the program. So if you are saying "we are losing numbers" more the once it would make sense to store it in a method and then call that method when needed. If you are only saying it once then printing it to the screen is fine.
