RubyFiddle issue - NameError: undefined local variable or method 'gets' for #

Question

class SqrrtProg

  def hello

    puts "Hello! Welcome to the square root program."
    puts "\n Please enter a number: "
    number = gets
    puts number

  end

  def Sqrrt

  end

end

object = SqrrtProg.new
object.hello

I am simply trying to use 'gets' to get user input. I had read that it might be because, by default, gets tries to read information from a file. I have tried name = $stdin.gets and name = &stdin.gets.chomp etc... However, I end up at the same error.

Answer 1

I am going to answer my own question as it has been solved. The code is fine when run from a terminal. This problem apparently stems from a limitation in RubyFiddle. Hopefully this question can help someone who comes across the same problem with the RubyFiddle enviornment :)
