I'm trying to write a script such that when you enter a year, you get
back a result of what occurred in this year or in the range of years, as
follows: http://pastie.org/private/0nibq5i7abwghydfu0yzg

The case is when I enter a year, I get the following:

sub.rb:3: undefined method `what_were_you_doing_on' for main:Object
(NoMethodError)

But, the method is there. Why am I getting this?

Thanks.

Because you call the method (line 3) before defining it (line 6). Define the
method before calling it and the error will disappear.

year == 2001..2006

means is the variable 'year' is a range starting with 2001 up to and
including 2006

That is it expects that 'year' will be a range and not a fixnum.

What you need is something like this

if (2001..2006).include?(year)

Order is important. The method definition has to be evaluated before calling it.

If you put the call below the method definition, the call will work.

Thanks for your replies. I changed the script to look as follows:
http://pastie.org/private/qwcmcpdzvxybm52s3ywxqg

But, I ALWAYS get "Out of range...". Why is that?

Thanks.
