convert-dogs-age-human-years-ruby.rb
dog_age = 6 # replace with the actual age of your dog
human_age = 0
if dog_age == 1
human_age = 15
elsif dog_age == 2
human_age = 24
else
human_age = 24 + (dog_age - 2) * 4.5

Notes

  • If the dog's age is 1, the script sets the human age to 15.
  • If the dog's age is 2, the script sets the human age to 24.
  • If the dog's age is greater than 2, the script uses the formula human_age = 24 + (dog_age - 2) * 5 to calculate the dog's age in human years.
