Creating a Function

By Hawkee on Aug 18, 2005

This is a very simple Ruby snippet that creates an unnecessary function.

def sayHello(name)
  result = "Hello, " + name
  return result
end

# Let's say hi
puts sayHello("Jedi Starbuck")
puts sayHello("Tarantula Malone")

It\'s pretty good, basic though, and I personally don\'t really use to many functions in Ruby, I know they help and most of the time are needed, but I seem to find ways around using two maybe even three per script

Click the Ruby Scripting tab at the top of the site and check the links under Ruby Links. Be sure to download Ruby on Rails and check the 15 minute demo video. It let\'s you build websites quickly.
