Advice for me

Ruby
#1

Hello, could you please help me. I am not a programmer, but I would like
to write in Ruby, on a gift card for my son-in-law, “I am so glad I know
you” He is a programmer & he would really think that is great. thank you

Excerpts from Sandy T.'s message of Mon Feb 03 20:06:24 +0100 2014:

you" He is a programmer & he would really think that is great. thank you

In ruby this prints the message on the console:

puts “I am so glad I know you”

Of course you can do fancy things such as hex or base64 encode or using
quoting … to make him type it into irb …

Then it becomes:

require ‘base64’
puts Base64.decode64 “SSBhbSBzbyBnbGFkIEkga25vdyB5b3U=\n”

That’s enough to have some fun and probably all you need.

Hey Sandy,

Actually you can’t translate english words into a programming language
but I think you could do something nice and simple if you write this:

def my_message_to_you
“I am so glad I know you”
end

puts my_message_to_you

Reading that site gives me a whole new appreciation of all that you must
do to say some of the most ordinary phrases for the rest of us to read!!
Thank you
