Ruby

Why don't we use interpolation?

Why doesn't Jason use string interpolation instead of manually typing in all those + " " spaces?

You didn't mention which course you were viewing, but I'd bet that if interpolation wasn't introduced earlier in the same course, it's not used for the benefit of students who might not have already taken one where it is explained.

And don't be surprised when you are able to improve on the course examples, that's an indication of your learning progress.

Sorry. I think it was the Ruby objects and classes part. It’s been introduced already.

But probably introduced in a different course, not everyone takes all the courses or in the same order.
