The code bellow is horrible, I was experimenting with Ruby; seeing how much I could get done with one line functions, how much I could get done without global state and side effect... I broke before ruby did, but here's hoping I find a way to corrupt it in the following 2 days of study :)

5-Horrible.rb

@secret = rand(10) + 1
@results = ['Too low','Congratulations you guessed it!','Too high']

def take_a_guess(guess, secret)
  puts @results[(guess <=> secret) + 1]
  guess == secret
end

# Game loop
print 'Can you guess the number I am thinking of? '
correct = take_a_guess(gets.to_i,@secret) while not correct

Thanks for sharing your code James. It made it clear to me that I'm still stuck in a Java mind-set!
I like your @results array and use of the spaceship operator.
You need to add 1 to @secret to get a range of 1..10 though.

I like the results array and the use of guess == secret.

Thanks guys and good catch Mary-Anne :¬) [I've edited the code now, cheers]
