This is what I did :

I created a file , defined a new variable c and saved it as ex50.rb ---

def add(a, b, c)   
    puts "(ADDING #{a} + #{b}) / #{c}"   
    return (a + b) / c 
end 

age = add(30, 10) / 5 

puts "Age: #{age}"

Then I tried to run it :

CaiGengYangs-MacBook-Pro:~ CaiGengYang$ ruby ex50.rb

But I got this error message :

ruby: No such file or directory -- ex50.rb (LoadError)
