From: Ryan Leavengood Date: 2005-12-08T02:30:32+09:00 Subject: Re: Ruby newcomer As others have said, use Google or whatever materials your teacher has provided to get the basic algorithm for solving the problem. Then code that algorithm in Ruby. If you look at some of the quizzes and solutions on rubyquiz.com, you will quickly see that even simple problems can be solved in many different ways in Ruby. It is a very flexible language, which is why so many of us enjoy it so much. Ryan On 12/7/05, BAT wrote: > I'm sorry if you felt like i'm trying to get the code from you!
