Forum: RForum new to Ruby

class ArrayPlus
 count = sum = 0
  def sums
      11.times do
         count += 1
         sum += count
         print "sum at " + count.to_s + "=" + sum.to_s
  end

when I executed this code Ruby points at the last line of the code and
gives me this error. me "syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND
end".

I still can't understand what I should do to make this code work. Please
point me in the right direction.

thankyou

add another 'end' to the very bottom

This is correct, but here's a bit more explanation: "$end" is the actual
end of the file, whereas "kEND" is the keyword "end".  So it's basically
saying that it was expecting another keyword end when the file ended, ie
there's a missing 'end' somewhere.  In this case, it's missing from the
end of your 'do' block: you need an end for the do, an end for the sums
method and an end for the class.

This is my least favourite thing about ruby - it gives you no feedback
as to where the missing 'end' might be.
