# Numerology App Your birthdate is reduced down to a single digit, 1-9. That number corresponds to a specific message about your path in life and place in the world.

#1. First, ask the user for their birthdate. It must be in the format MMDDYYYY

puts "Tell me your date of birth in the following format: MMDDYYYY"

#2. Use the gets method to get their birthdate & assign it to a variable

birthdate = gets

#3. Next you need to add all the numbers of their birthdate together & assign the result to a new variable. Get each number from the birthdate individually, using array syntax, and convert it to a number. Then add those eight numbers together. Make sure you set the result of all those additions to a new variable called number.

number = birthdate[0].to_i + birthdate[1].to_i + birthdate[2].to_i + birthdate[3].to_i + birthdate[4].to_i + birthdate[5].to_i + birthdate[6].to_i + birthdate[7].to_i
puts number

#4. Now you need to start reducing that number down to a single digit. First you’re going to convert the number back to a string so that you can use array syntax again – array syntax does not work on integers! Convert the number back to a string, then follow step 3 again; get each number individually, using array syntax, and convert it to a number. Then add those two numbers together.

number = number.to_s
number = number[0].to_i + number[1].to_i
puts number

#5.Now it’s time for an if statement! Your current number could be 1-9, or it could be greater than 9.

if number > 9
    number = number.to_s
    number = number[0].to_i + number[1].to_i
end

puts number

#6. Now you have your single-digit birth path number! All that’s left is to display the number to the user and also the number’s meaning. For this you’ll use a case statement. Your case statement should check the birth path number and then display the correct message.
