japanese input

[Cristiano de Araujo Bezerra]

i need some help. i tried a lot of time using loops but i cannot figure
it out wha i want.

is basicaly this:

i type a letter and i have the output in hiragana but the program can´t
finish untill i press 'q' and if type another letter it joins to the
first...

this is my code to start..

this way i can enter a letter and get a hirana equivalent
but when it happens the program stops!


class Test
  def initialize
    vowels = Hash['a'=>'あ', 'i'=>'い', 'u'=>'う', 'e'=>'え', 'o'=>'お']
    letter = gets.chomp.downcase
    # logic here
    case letter
    when 'a'
      print "#{vowels['a']}"
    when 'i'
      print "#{vowels['i']}"
    when 'u'
      print "#{vowels['u']}"
    when 'e'
      print "#{vowels['e']}"
    when 'o'
      print "#{vowels['o']}"
    else
      puts "This letter is not part of hiragana alphabet!"
    end
  end
end

t = Test.new

i found almost what i was looking for:

class Test2
  def initialize
    vowels = Hash['a'=>'あ', 'i'=>'い', 'u'=>'う', 'e'=>'え', 'o'=>'お']


    letter = gets.chomp.downcase

    while letter != 'q'
      if letter == 'a'
        print "#{vowels['a']}"
        letter = gets.chomp.downcase
      elsif letter == 'i'
        print "#{vowels['i']}"
        letter = gets.chomp.downcase
      elsif letter == 'u'
        print "#{vowels['u']}"
        letter = gets.chomp.downcase
      elsif letter == 'e'
        print "#{vowels['e']}"
        letter = gets.chomp.downcase
      elsif letter == 'o'
        print "#{vowels['o']}"
        letter = gets.chomp.downcase
      else
        puts "This letter is not part of hiragana alphabet!"
        break
      end
    end
  end
end

t2 = Test2.new

thanks for attention i found a way to solve my problem:

true

vowels = {'a'=>'あ', 'i'=>'い', 'u'=>'う', 'e'=>'え', 'o'=>'お'}

key = nil

while(key != "q") do

  key = gets.chomp

  case key

  when 'a'

    print "#{vowels['a']}"

  when 'i'

    print "#{vowels['i']}"

  when 'u'

    print "#{vowels['u']}"

  when 'e'

    print "#{vowels['e']}"

  when 'o'

    print "#{vowels['o']}"

  when 'q'

    puts 'bye bye'

  when ''

    puts 'No letter was typed!'

  else

    puts "This letter is not part of hiragana alphabet!"

  end

end

you may replace the above case statement w

vowel = vowels[key] || "this letter is not part of hiragana alphabet\n"
print vowel
