String interpolation guide for Ruby

In this section, we are going to talk about string interpolation in Ruby.

What is string interpolation?

So what exactly is string interpolation? Good question. String interpolation is the process of being able to seamlessly integrate dynamic values into a string.

Let's assume we want to slip dynamic words into a string. We can get the input from the console and store that input into variables. From there, we can call the variables inside of a pre-existing string.

For example, let's give a sentence the ability to change based on a user's input:

puts "Name an animal" 
animal = gets.chomp 
puts "Name a noun" 
noun= gets.chomp 
p "The quick brown #{animal} jumped over the lazy #{noun}"
