So here's my syntax problem

def chosen() print " Lets find the chosen name!" puts " Please enter your name" name = gets.chomp if name.length < 8 puts" I am sorry but the character amount in your name is too low not the chosen name" elsif name.length > 8 puts " (MODERATOR edit) *** you way to high" elsif name == "alphonse" puts"You are the chosen one" else puts " You found the digit amount but its not the right name." end end

def guess() print"Guess a letter " letter = gets.chomp until letter.length == 4 if letter.include?("a") puts "That letter is in the name guess another? Please hit (exit) if your donw guessing " else puts "Im sorry, Wrong letter guess again? Please hit (exit) if you have finished guessing. " break letter == "exit " end end end

chosen() guess()

Im trying to cross these functions over to make it so when i type the wrong name then the second function will have me guess letters and keep asking me until i hit exit. I used the until loop however it doesnt break when i want it to i want it to keep asking. now what im also wonder is how can i combine these functions?
