Session 2: Exercise

EXERCISE 1:

Create a variable which holds a string for the name of your best friend, all lower-case

Output:

  • The length of their name
  • Their name reversed
  • Their name with only the first letter capitalized (think about Ranges!)

Questions for exploration:

  • Go to the Ruby documentation page for String. What other methods do you see here? What can you make with them?

EXERCISE 2: 

  • Create a variable which holds a Hash of a few names and ages
  • Create a variable which holds the name of one of the people from the Hash
  • Output in a complete sentence, the name and age of the person you selected by using a Hash lookup
