Ruby Data Types
integers: an integer is a whole numbers. You’re able to assign words to the numbers as values and you’re able to do mathmatics as well
Floats: Floats are shown as decimals. they can be used for mathmatics and are simpler than as used in python
Strings: Strings are established by quotation marks. They hold characters such as numbers and words
Arrays: An array is a list of items. They’re able to hold multiple data types such as strings, floats, integers, other arrays, etc. Once things are put into arrays, you are able to call on items and groups quickly. making the process easier
Hash: A hash is similar to an array, but is not ordered or numeric. A hash is able to contain any amount of value pairs without restrictions to the type, format, or values. These key/value pairs have identifiers to show which variable you want to access in the hash.
Booleans: A boolean is simply something that is true or false

Teens and Tech Conference
People came from all over the country to go to this conference.
The speakers were really informitive. They spoke about how they got started in the industries they work in.
I arrived late… so I didn’t get to see a lot of it. But from what I witnessed, most of the people really enjoy what they do. They said that you should always love what you do because if you hate it, then you don’t want to do it.
This one speaker in paticurlar caught my attention. Josh Shipp. He’s a public speaker. Basically, he was the typical class clown as a kid. Talked all the time. He reminded me of myself a lot. it was really interesting. He didn’t even know this was what he wanted to do. He kind of just stubbled into it. Now he has his own television show, he’s an author of a book, and he makes money doing what he’s always done. I don’t really know what I want to do, but seeing someone that is that much like me… It shows me that if you want something enough, that it’s possible to accomplish it. You just have to work for it.
