ruby excercise for name.lenth.t_s

Question

the excercise in the book says that I should ask for the names individually and then get the name length. I am stuck on the 8th line? Is that what I am supposed to do to get the name?

    puts "What\'s your first name?"
    first = gets.chomp
    puts "What\'s your middle name?"
    middle = gets.chomp
    puts "What\'s your last name?"
    last = gets.chomp
    puts "So, your full name is #{first} #{middle} #{last}." 
    name = # {first} #{middle} #{last}
    puts "Did you know that are + #{name.length.t_s} + characters "
    puts "in your + name + "

Thank you so much for your help!

It should be (using ruby string embedding):

name = "#{first} #{middle} #{last}"

Yes, but I am still getting this as my outcome: Did you know that there are + name.length.t_s + characters in your + name + ? – jazzlark Aug 27 '13 at 16:23
Ahh, got it. Here you go: `puts "Did you know that are + #{name.length.to_s} + characters in your #{name}"` You’ve had two typos in the output. – Aleksei Matiushkin Aug 27 '13 at 16:25
It doesn't work. It says: `
': undefined method `t_s' for 18:Fixnum (NoMethodError)
– jazzlark Aug 27 '13 at 16:35
You again missed `o`. The method is called `to_s` which is for “TO STRING”. – Aleksei Matiushkin Aug 27 '13 at 16:38
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it so much! And sorry for my careless oversight! – jazzlark Aug 27 '13 at 16:44
