secretnumber_improved by changecase

secret_number = 42

#  Since "ask" seems to work like "puts" 
#  in that it takes all input as a string, 
#  we need to be sure we are comparing 
#  apples to apples.
#  Currently, secret_number is the integer
#  42. One option would be to save
#  secret_number as a string: 
#
#  secret_number = "42"
#
#  Another option would be to convert
#  secret_number to a string when we compare
#  it to guess below by using the ".to_s"
#  method.
#
#  if guess == secret_number.to_s
#
#  A third option (and the one that I prefer)
#  is to convert the string input to an
#  integer. Compare the following 3 lines to
#  the example provided in step 10 of the 
#  Ruby lesson.

alert "I have a secret number. take a 
guess, see if you can figure it out!"
guess = (ask "Guess my number:").to_i

#  You'll notice that I wrapped the ask in ()
#  and used the ".to_i" method on it.
#  I also moved the "ask" text to an alert
#  box that preceeds the "ask". I seem to
#  be experiencing a bug that cuts off the
#  text rather than displaying the second
#  line or wrapping a single line to the
#  next line.
#  If you figure out a solution to the text
#  display, let me know!

if guess == secret_number
  alert "Yes! You guessed right!"
else
  alert "Sorry, you'll have to try again."
