find the volume of a rectangular prism in ruby

To find the volume of a rectangular prism in Ruby, we need to know the length, width, and height of the prism.

We can define a method that takes the length, width, and height as arguments and returns the volume of the rectangular prism:

main.rb
def rectangular_prism_volume(length, width, height)
  volume = length * width * height
  return volume
end
107 chars
5 lines

We can then call this method and pass in the dimensions of our rectangular prism:

main.rb
length = 10
width = 5
height = 3

volume = rectangular_prism_volume(length, width, height)

puts "The volume of the rectangular prism is #{volume}"
148 chars
8 lines

This will output:

main.rb
The volume of the rectangular prism is 150
43 chars
2 lines

Thus, the volume of the rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height together.
