Ask a user for their first, middle, and last names. Then greet the user with their full name.

Example run:

code:

C:\> ruby greet.rb Your first name is? John Your middle name is? Ryan Your last name is? Doe Hello, John Ryan Doe!

I know you're probabily gonna think i'm retarded, but how do you run ruby? Like I started looking at your (wtd's) tutorial on puts and stuff, and i cant figure out how to run the thing . . . . .

irb works wonderfully. Actually look over this topic

Oh, duh! Ok thanks.

Ummm... i have another question. Do i use the SciTE to program? Because when i save it, it saves as like some unkown file type, not a ruby program. But i installed it properly and everything because the sample programs work.

You can use any text editor you'd like. Ruby programs are simply plain text with a ".rb" extension.

On Wndows I like TextPad.

Jamonathin, if you want to use some sort of editor/IDE instead of compiling by hand (which is reccomended for now, but anyway), you should check out FreeRIDE. Works equally fine in Windows and Linux.
