Subject: Re: How to 'space' certain things apart?

1. you don't need extra variables var, var2, var2 - you already have
all required values in variables  first_name,  middle_initial,
last_name;
2. value stored in var1 varable is already a String - don't need to
convert it with var1.to_s;
3. to build name value you can use:
    name = first_name + ' ' + middle_initial + ' ' + last_name
or
    name = "#{first_name} #{middle_initial} #{last_name}"
or
    name = format( "%s %s %s", first_name, middle_initial, last_name )
or (same as previous)
    name = "%s %s %s" % [ first_name, middle_initial, last_name ]

don't be confused by so many ways to make it, just pick one and use it;
happy rubying!
