Correct the last line as follows:

puts 'Maybe, your favourite number should be ' + NFnum.to_s + '.'

that is , convert an integer to a string with 'to_s' before adding to
another string.

Also, it is a convention to use small letters for simple variable names, so
change the names like Fname as follows:
Fname to f_name or first_name

You can search for on line tutorials to start with.
