Subject: Re: whats the error here?

Sorry for the sloppy quoting of my code. Here it is in full. I made a 
correction in the initialize method of passing a string and not an 
integer to find the length.

This is my attempt of solving the rubyquiz lcd challenge. (please dont 
post your solution to the challenge - im determined to do it all by 
myself ;-) )

class Lcdscreen

  def initialize(size=2)
    @size = size
    @template = {'1'=> [" # ", "@ @"," # ", "@ @", " # "],
            '2'=>[" # ", "@ @"," # ", "@ @", " # "],
            '3'=>[" # ", "@ @"," # ", "@ @", " # "],
            '4'=>[" # ", "@ @"," # ", "@ @", " # "],
            '5'=>[" # ", "@ @"," # ", "@ @", " # "],
            '6'=>[" # ", "@ @"," # ", "@ @", " # "],
            '7'=>[" # ", "@ @"," # ", "@ @", " # "],
            '8'=>[" # ", "@ @"," # ", "@ @", " # "],
            '9'=>[" # ", "@ @"," # ", "@ @", " # "],
            '0'=>[" # ", "@ @"," # ", "@ @", " # "]}
    @numrows = @template['0'].length

  end

  def LCDWrite text
    0.upto(@numrows) do |y|
      output = ""
      if (y%2==0) #if even print horizontal bars
        text.each_byte do |x|
          output << HorizontalBarPrint(x, y)
        end
      else #if odd print vertical bars
        0.upto(@size) do |z| #have to print multiple lines for vertical 
bars
          text.each_byte do |x|
            output << VerticalBarPrint(x, y)
          end
          output << "/n" #after reaching the end of text add a newline
        end
      end
      puts output #print out the line
    end
  end

  def HorizontalBarPrint chr,segment

    lcdchar = @template[chr][segment]
    #more code to come but stuck on the above line it just wont work.
  end
end
