ruby syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting keyword_end
ruby
Solution
It's not complaining about an extra `end`, but a premature end of the file, because of a missing `end`. In this case, You're forgetting to close the class before your `if __FILE__ == $0` part.
This is probably because you confused `elsif` with `else if`, the latter one creating a whole new `if` block.
Problem
The following code is showing me the error as follows: ``` "ruby -KU -- 'C:\Users\Ishmael\My Documents\Aptana Studio 3 Workspace\Simple\FirstFile' C:/Users/Ishmael/My Documents/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/Simple/FirstFile:55: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting keyword_end" ``` I searched for the extra end(s) and the trailing '.'s but in vain and I still can't figure out why it's not working! ``` class Greeter attr_accessor :name def initialize(name="dudes") @name=name end def say_hi if @name.nil? puts "..." else if @name.respond_to?("each") @name.each do |name| puts "Hello #{name.capitalize}!" end else puts "Hi #{@name.capitalize}!" end end def say_bye if @name.nil? puts "..." else if @name.respond_to?("join") puts 'Goodbye #{@name.join(", ").capitalize}! Come back soon!' else puts "Bye #{@name.capitalize}!" end end end if __FILE__ == $0 greeter = Greeter.new greeter.say_hi greeter.say_bye greeter.name = "Ishmael" greeter.say_hi greeter.say_bye greeter.name = ["Albert", "Brenda", "Charles", "Dave", "Englebert"] greeter.say_hi greeter.say_bye greeter.name = nil greeter.say_hi greeter.say_bye end ```
