basic shit that should work but doesn't

puts '12'.to_i + 12
puts '1234 qdasasjkdaklsj'.to_i
puts 12.to_s + 'asd'
puts 'lolhi.pick a number'
numb = gets.to_i
puts numb.chomp.to_s + 1 + 'is a better number, faggot'

SHOULD read

24
1234
lolhi.pick a number
[number]
([number]+1) is a better number, faggot.

Instead it reads

24
1234
lolhi.pick a number
[number]
sandbox.rb:7:in '+': String can't be coerced into Fixnum (TypeError) from sandbox.rb:7

Someone please tel me why this is a complete fialuer? to_i obviously works, but can I not use it on a string in a variable? If so, shit sucks.

puts "#{numb + 1} is a prime, faggot"

Hmm... looks like my version of ruby is an unstable fucker. time to dl an older version.

I know shit all about ruby, but shouldn't you add 1 before converting the number to a string?

Hmm.

Yes, you're correct. BRAINFARTS FOR THE WIN!

New version:
puts 'lolhi. pick a number'
fav =gets.to_i
puts fav.to_s + '?'
fav2=fav+1
pits fav2.to_s ' is a prime number, faggot.'

Still doesn't fucking work. Stupid unstable shit version.

[b]puts[/b] fav2.to_s ' is a prime number, faggot.'Doesn't ruby give an error for this kind of stuff?

puts is one of the print methods, so no. You can use print, p, and puts, which stands for put string IIRC... and that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Made the fucker work and realised I hadn't posted it here.

puts 'lolhi. pick a number'
fav = gets.to_i
puts (fav.to_s) + '?'
fav2 = fav+1
pits fav2.to_s ' is a prime number, faggot.'

I have no idea why chucking parenthesis around the first to_s made the prog run, but wtf ever works.

That's what happens when language syntax sucks, e.g. Perl, Ruby
