Hello,
I now trying to solve this one :
# Triangle Project Code.
# Triangle analyzes the lengths of the sides of a triangle
# (represented by a, b and c) and returns the type of triangle.
#
# It returns:
# :equilateral if all sides are equal
# :isosceles if exactly 2 sides are equal
# :scalene if no sides are equal
#
# The tests for this method can be found in
# about_triangle_project.rb
# and
# about_triangle_project_2.rb
#
def triangle(a, b, c)
if ((a == b) and (b == c))
return :equilateral
if (((a == b) and (b != c)) or ((a != b) and (b == c)))
return :isosceles
if ((a !=b) and (b != c))
return :scalene
end
But I see this error message :
/about_triangle_project.rb:4:in `require'': ./triangle.rb:27: syntax
error,
unexpected $end, expecting kEND (SyntaxError)
from ./about_triangle_project.rb:4
from path_to_enlightenment.rb:18:in `require''
from path_to_enlightenment.rb:18
Can anyone give me a tip what I have done wrong ?

Thanks, That solved my problem.

But, you could also solve it by making all but the first if, "elsif"s instead. Actually you can make the third one just an else, since that''s the only remaining option. You''ll still need one more end, though, to end the if-series. Another way that springs to my twisted little mind, though, is to just see how many unique lengths you have: [:equilateral, :isosceles, :scalene][[a,b,c].uniq.length - 1] Do NOT put something that "clever" in anything actually important, as the lack of clarity isn''t worth the conciseness. But it makes a neat little mind-exercise. ;-) -Dave -- Dave Aronson, Available Secret-Cleared Ruby/Rails Freelancer (VA/DC/Remote); see www.DaveAronson.com, www.Codosaur.us, and www.Dare2XL.com for more info. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
