In ruby 'hello' and 'hello' are not *the same*.  Quotes serve as a 
String constructor, and those are two different objects.   For instance,

a = 'hello'
b = 'hello'

if a.equal?(b)
  puts 'yes'
else
  puts 'no'
end

--output:--
no


You may wish to use assert_equal, which tests whether two strings 
contain the same characters:

a = 'hello'
b = 'hello'

if a == b
  puts 'yes'
else
  puts 'no'
end

--output:--
yes
