Yup ... it works now. 

I am now on exercise 3 --- http://learnrubythehardway.org/book/ex3.html.


So I saved the below text as a "ex3.rb" file in my home directory :

puts "I will now count my chickens:"
puts "Hens #{25 + 30 / 6}"puts "Roosters #{100 - 25 * 3 % 4}"
puts "Now I will count the eggs:"
puts 3 + 2 + 1 - 5 + 4 % 2 - 1 / 4 + 6
puts "Is it true that 3 + 2 < 5 - 7?"
puts 3 + 2 < 5 - 7
puts "What is 3 + 2? #{3 + 2}"puts "What is 5 - 7? #{5 - 7}"
puts "Oh, that's why it's false."
puts "How about some more."
puts "Is it greater? #{5 > -2}"puts "Is it greater or equal? #{5 >= -2}"puts "Is it less or equal? #{5 <= -2}"

Tried to run it in my Terminal by typing :

CaiGengYangs-MacBook-Pro:mystuff CaiGengYang$ cd ~/mystuffCaiGengYangs-MacBook-Pro:mystuff CaiGengYang$ ruby ex3.rb

But I got this error message --- ruby : No such file or directory -- ex3.rb (LoadError)

How to debug this ?
