 No, not really. The variable `v' and `v1' was probably read with #gets and
 this mean that it exist a \n at the end

pigeon% ruby -e 'v = gets; puts v.inspect; print "#{v}"'
12
"12\n"
12
pigeon% 

 You must use #chomp

pigeon% ruby -e 'v = gets; v.chomp!; puts v.inspect; print "#{v}"'
12
"12"
12pigeon%
