Hello all, I am a beginner programmer and a beginner to Ruby. I was just going through a tutorial book and trying to create some programs. The current program I am working on I am having trouble with. I have defined a method and the last thing in the method is a puts concatenation. The program runs and does everything correctly except for when I call the method it puts the string and then nil underneath. I thought the return value was the last value of the string so I don't understand why it is doing this. How do I get rid of the nil? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
