Subject: Newbie problem: String can't be coerced into Fixnum

I am brand new to Ruby and I would greatly appreciate any help you guys
can provide!

If this is not the correct place to post them please let me know where I
should post these types of questions.

This very short program is just supposed to take today's date using t =
Time.now and calculating what year the user was born...

Code:
puts "How old are you?"
age = gets.chomp

puts name + " is " + age + " years old."

t = Time.now
born = t.year - age

puts "You were probably born in " + born + "."


Thank you!!!
