Ruby - Variables and Data Types
Find the problem in this Ruby code snippet:
age = 20
puts "You are #{age years} old."
AQuotes are mismatched
BMissing operator inside interpolation causing syntax error
CInterpolation only works with strings
DVariable age is not defined
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Analyze interpolation expression

    The expression inside #{ } is age years which is invalid syntax because there's no operator between age and years.
  2. Step 2: Identify syntax error cause

    Ruby expects an operator like + or method call; missing operator causes error.
  3. Final Answer:

    Missing operator inside interpolation causing syntax error -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Interpolation needs valid Ruby expressions [OK]
Quick Trick: Expressions inside #{ } must be valid Ruby code [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Writing multiple words without operators inside #{ }
  • Assuming interpolation works with invalid syntax
  • Ignoring error messages about syntax
