An excellent book. It's where I learned to program Ruby! So you'd first want to ask for them. Remember, variables are stored from right to left. #use gets.chomp to ask for the name. Store the result in the appropriate variable. first_name = gets.chomp middle_name = gets.chomp last_name = gets.chomp #Now we need to add these parts together. And you're fabulous puts code goes here. You probably had trouble with how to ask for it, right? I know that's where I had trouble. puts ing the phrase is just as easy - just puts each variable, and separate each with a space.
