Why am I not getting the expected output?

Ruby
1

I have the following code: http://pastie.org/1032525, but always getting
‘Book written’ as output at the time I have to get ‘Software operating’
instead. What am I missing here?

Thanks.

Did you change the ‘===’ operator maybe?
Have you been overwriting the Fixnum class?

Really amazing.

Did you run it as is?

It is not actually yet working for me.

Yes. I just copied it and pasted into a file.

I can’t think of a reason. Are you sure it’s exactly the same code you
posted?

Even if I change it to this I still get the same output:
http://pastie.org/1032617

When you look at the logic it is correct, but why NOT getting what
happened in 1995, and always getting what happened in 1990, I’m really
confused.

Sorry, the modified version I mentioned earlier:
http://pastie.org/1032624

Gives me the following error:

whathappened.rb:3: syntax error, unexpected kIF, expecting kWHEN
if 1990 === year
^

Any idea on this?

Thanks.

Thanks Stefano. I went ahead and copied-pasted the code I have submitted
and it works :slight_smile:

Seems that I had two versions, and was running the wrong version :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot.

Simple syntax error – you have a stray “case” statement still in your
file,
so ruby expects at least one “when” clause following (kWHEN), but
instead
encounters an “if” clause (kIF).
