He is supposed to ask for user input by using an index number to change the letter of a word given, like say "dog". So the user it asked to enter the index number, lets say 0 is entered by the user, and he then asks the user to put a new letter in (letter is a variable), then he wants to change the index of 0 which is the "D" to a "C" (where c was put in by the user). Can anyone help with this? How to do it please? Cheryl -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
