It assumed the thing was a string.

Any ideas about how this should be handled?

raluxgaza commented 12 years ago

We can have some kind of trigger that fires when it locates a pattern similar to what the kid has written, which would strip off the comma and return a valid integer value. Now, where to put this, I'm not sure.

def normalize_fixnum("number") valid_number = number.split(',').join.to_i end

We could always push a class along with the ask() method?

ask("How much money do you make?", Integer)

Not sure if that is easy or not for kids.
