Programming is a way to teach a computer how to do something the way the programmer thinks it should be done. Put another way, programming is the description of how to perform some processing. 

In this course, you'll get hands-on experience in programming using Ruby by building a hangman game along the way. In the game, a player chooses a (hidden) word while a second player tries to guess the word. You'll learn to build the hangman game incrementally, and by the end of the course, you'll have a fully functional hangman game while learning the fundamentals of programming. This is a beginner-level course and doesn’t require any prior experience in programming.

The course will provide a strong foundation for the advancement of your programming skills and also pave the way for a career in programming.

Learning to Program in Ruby: By Example


# Problem statement

Write a small program that asks for a person’s first and last names, followed by their parents’ first and last names. Then write a routine in a separate file to print the collected data and test if your program is still running as expected. If you did not use a method, first create a method, and then move it to another file.

You can pass the names as parameters to the routine as shown below:
```ruby
def routine_name parameter_1, parameter_2, parameter_3 
```

# Sample input
```terminal
Your first name: John 
Your last name: Doe
Your mother first name: Mary
Your mother last name: Smith
Your father first name: James
Your father last name: Doe
```
# Sample output
```terminal
My first name is John
My last name is Doe
Mum first name is Mary
Mum last name is Smith
Dad first name is James
Dad last name is Doe
```


Test yourself by splitting the code into multiple files.
