What does equalsIgnoreCase do, and could you not have spent five
minutes to Google?

Yes, it’s called String#casecmp().

I think that maybe you mean to write:

if fine.casecmp("good")
  puts "Great!"
else
  puts "Oh, I'm sorry."
end

Hope this helps,

Lyle

you forgot to tell us what you want the program to do, what it’s
doing instead, the things you’ve already tried to remedy the problem
and what you think might be the problem.
