Beginners question

Ruby
1

As the title says my questions may seem obvious at first as I’m self
teaching myself how to program and I’m taking the first steps as of now.

In the context:

Print( 'Enter your name: ’ )
Name = gets()
Puts( “Hello #{name}” )

I understand print was used instead of puts because puts adds a line
feed at the end of the printed string.

My question is, what is the definition of line feed in regards to Ruby?

:x thanks

A carriage-return and line feed is usually “\r\n”. A line feed simply
starts a new line, it’ll move the command prompt down to the next row.

This seems like the right place for my problem.
I installed Ruby 2.1.7 from Downloads
It is my first language so i would like to get immediate feedback. but
when I enter $ irb it just crashes. I have looked at other forum but
nobody had this problem or I did not understand what they said since I
do not know anything about programming…
what can I do about it? (I already tried to turn off my antivirus
programme…)

If you go into the command-line (cmd) first and then execute “irb”, you
should get an error message when it crashes.
Without an error message, there’s nothing I can do to trace the problem.

You wrote that you turned off your antivirus. Which do you use?
I know that some antiviruses had similar issues, on https://antivirus-review.com/ experts wrote some reviews about this

The chomp method cleans up redundant code.

By adding . chomp to your gets will remove the newline code.
print "enter name => " ; usr_input = gets.chomp
puts “my name is #{usr_input}”
