2,418 PointsGetting an odd Error on Ruby loop challenge
working on the following question Using a loop construct, assign the value of the get_answer() method to an answer variable. Use the break keyword to exit the loop if the answer variable is equal to the string e. Assume get_answer() is already written
and I am getting the following error:
Bummer: Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - 1
when entering in the following loop: loop do answer = gets.chomp.downcase break if answer == "e" end
# Assume get_answer() is already defined
loop do
answer = gets.chomp.downcase
break if answer == "e"
end

is looking for input from the user. That's not what the challenge asks you to do. The instructions are to assign the value of the get_answer() method to an answer variable. That is why answer = get_answer
works.
