For example, let's look at the case of writing a program that outputs based on the following three conditions.
❶ If it is 20 or less, output "a number of 20 or less" ❷ If the number is greater than 20, output "number greater than 20" ❸ If it is 20 or less and 0 or less, output as "0 or less number"
In this case, the following description is given.
int = gets.to_i
if int <= 20
puts "Numbers less than 20" #❶
elsif int <= 0
puts "Numbers less than or equal to 0" #❷
else
puts "Numbers greater than 20" #❸
end
In this case, if you write "-1" in int, ❶
if int <= 20
puts "Numbers less than 20"
Reacts, and the output of ❷ that I originally wanted to output is not output. This is because the program is loaded from top to bottom. (There are exceptions such as def being read later and javascript function declarations being read first.)
So change the order of ❶ and ❷
int = gets.to_i
if int <= 0
puts "Numbers less than or equal to 0" #❶
elsif int <= 20
puts "Numbers less than 20" #❷
else
puts "Numbers greater than 20" #❸
end
Then, it will be a program that captures the original intention.
