title: Easiest Way to Print Non-Strings in Ruby
body: <p>I'm constantly doing this</p>
  
  <pre><code>puts “The temperature is “ + String(temperature) + “.”
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in my debugging code, and another option is to use interpolation</p>
  
  <pre><code>puts “The temperature is #{temperature}.”
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is there any less cumbersome way to do this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> This is just for debugging, if that matters.</p>
