Answer obstructed by Period in answer block Course=RubyBasics / Quiz | String

There is a question asking to take the variable name and reverse+downcase. Period obstructs answer and it can't be removed.

Fill in the blanks to call the method that would first reverse the characters in a string, and then make them lowercase.

name = "Treehouse" name.reverse.downcase.

The period at the end can't be removed so Bummer! Unfortunately, that answer is incorrect.

Am I missing something? I think that end period is causing the problem.

Hi Stephen,

There's 2 inputs to fill in there. The 2 periods you need are already there. You would put reverse in the first blank and downcase in the second one.

Thanks, Jason.

For some reason the field box was just highlighting the first field so i thought the complete answer went in there.

Makes sense now.
