Subject: Re: why this program not working ?

Florian gave you the right solution, but to explain why, he should
have said the 'yield' keyword yields control of the code flow to a
block provided as a parameter (e.g., he provided 'puts x' as the block
parameter).

I suggest reading in the Pickage, Ruby for Rails, my book, or in your
favorite Ruby book about block parameters to understand more.
