Subject: Another Easy Beginner Question


There is a song that goes like this:

    On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me a partridge
in a pear tree.
    On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me two turtle
doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
    ...

If this goes on for the 12 days of Christmas. How many presents will
your true love send you over Christmas?
<strong>(Hint: You will need a loop inside another). </strong>

I don't think you need a loop inside a loop.... Here is what I did:

day = 0
gifts = 0

12.times do
 day = day + 1
 gifts = gifts + day
end

print gifts

Does anyone know how you would do it with a <em>loop inside a loop</
em>?
