# In the exercises below, write your own code where indicated
# to achieve the desired result.
# One example is already completed. Your task is to complete
# any remaining prompt.
# Make sure to run the file in your command line. Look back
# at the directions from Section 1 if you need a refresher on how to do that.
#-------------------
# PART 1: Comparing variables
#-------------------
number_teachers = 4
number_students = 20
string_teachers = "4"
numberDogs = 0
# EXAMPLE: print the result of the comparison: is number_teachers greater than number_students?
puts "Is number_teachers greater than number_students?", number_teachers > number_students
# this should print: "Is numberTeachers greater than numberStudents?" false
# YOU DO: print the result of the comparison: is number_teachers less than number_students?
# this should print: true
puts "Is number_teachers less than number_students?", number_teachers < number_students
# YOU DO: print the result of the comparison: is number_teachers equal to string_teachers?
# this should print: false
puts "Is number_teachers equal to number_students?", number_teachers == number_students
# YOU DO: print the result of the comparison: is number_teachers not equal to number_students?
# this should print: true
puts "Is number_teachers less than number_students?", number_teachers != number_students
# YOU DO: print the result of the comparison: is number_students greater than or equal to 20?
# this should print: true
puts "Is number_students greater than or equal to 20?", number_students >= 20
# YOU DO: print the result of the comparison: is number_students greater than or equal to 21?
# this should print: false
puts "Is number_students greater than or equal to 21?", number_students >= 21
# YOU DO: print the result of the comparison: is number_students less than or equal to 20?
# this should print: true
puts "Is number_students less than or equal to 20?", number_students <= 20
# YOU DO: print the result of the comparison: is number_students less than or equal to 21?
# this should print: true
puts "Is number_students less than or equal to 21?", number_students >= 21
#-------------------
# PART 2: Articulating what you are doing
#-------------------
# For the following prompts, you will be given a line of code and your task is to type out a Comment,
# in English, explaining what that line of code is doing, including what the comparison will evaluate to.
# Be as technically precise as possible, but don't just copy and paste a definition from the readings.
# Make sure YOU can explain it that way!
puts 4 < 9
#YOU DO: Explain.
# this will display "true", as it uses a comparison operator boolean to compare two integers using the "less than" operator.
books = 3
puts 4 < books
# YOU DO: Explain.
# "books" is defined as the number 3. a comparison operator boolean is displayed comparing the number 4 to "books", which is defined as 3.
# it will return "false".
friends = 6
siblings = 2
puts friends > siblings
# YOU DO: Explain.
# "friends" is defined as the integer 6, "siblings" is defined as the integer 2. A comparison operator boolean is displayed, reading "false".
# This is because when the comparison operator is ran, it identifies the words as the integers we defined them as.
attendees = 9
meals = 8
puts attendees != meals
# YOU DO: Explain.
# "attendees" is defined as 9, "meals" is defined as 8. 'puts' displays the result of the comparison operator used, "!=", which means not equal.
# the displayed result is "true".
#-------------------
# PART 3: Logical Operators
#-------------------
is_hungry = true
finished_homework = false
# EXAMPLE:
# Determine if the user is hungry and has completed their homework
puts is_hungry && finished_homework
# Determine if the user is hungry or has completed their homework
puts is_hungry || finished_homework
loves_to_play = true
loves_dog_park = false
loves_treats = true
age = 1
# YOU DO:
# Determine if the dog loves to play and loves treats
puts loves_to_play && loves_treats
#yes and yes
# Determine if the dog loves to play and loves the dog park
puts loves_to_play && loves_dog_park
#yes and no
# Determine if the dog loves to play or loves the dog park
puts loves_to_play || loves_dog_park
#loves to play, not the dog park
# Determine if the dog loves to play and is a puppy
# Assume that a dog is a puppy if it is less than 2 years old.
puts loves_to_play && age
# What did your final line of code evaluate to? Why do you think that is? Explain.
# ANSWER:
#The final line output the boolean "true" as the dog loves to play. Age outputted as 1. The dog is a puppy and loves to play.
