Basic If/Else statement question

I'm getting a strange error: "syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND" and it points to the final line of my code.

New to Ruby and not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be fantastic. Thanks!

 def add(x,y)
      if(x > y)
        c = x + y
        return c开发者_如何学Python

  else
    puts "Y is too big"
    return   
end


a = 4
b = 6

add(a,b)

BTW, you can refactor your if..end statement out completely if you prefer

def add(x,y)
  return (x + y) if(x > y)
  puts "Y is too big"
end

Corrected code (you are missing one end for the if-else):

def add(x,y)
    if(x > y)
        c = x + y
        return c
    else
        puts "Y is too big"
        return   
    end
end

a = 4
b = 6

add(a,b)

Both if statements and function definitions require an end statement to terminate them.

Try adding another end after your existing end and your problem should go away.
