I think I know what you're trying to print. If so, this is how I would do it.

print "Name? "
  name = gets.chomp
puts "Welcome to the programming world, #{name}. Happy coding."

I hope this helps clear some confusion. Also, it was a little hard to read your post. I understand if you have trouble with english.

If you don't use #{}, it wouldn't insert the captured user input. Instead it would literally print "name", nothing else.

No Siddharth, this wouldn't work. Please go back to your Ruby courses to learn why or allow me to explain.
