Okay...I put this in:

print "Is 3 = 4 or 8 > 2?"
print (3 = 4 || 8 > 2)

When it gets to "print (3 = 4 || 8 > 2)", it says syntax error. How do I fix this?

Make it "3 == 4" and not "3 = 4". You are testing equality here, so you need the double equal signs. This is saying "is 3 equal to 4?" Obviously it is not, but since 8 is greater than 2, the whole thing is true. So the result is Is 3 = 4 or 8 > 2?true

Oh...whoops!
Wait...even after I fixed that, it still gives me syntax error. As weird as this sounds, I'm using RPG Maker XP to test my Ruby... I don't know if it's RPGMXP or my language.

Well it is the maker you are using because I know the fix to be correct and outputs exactly what I am showing you. Make sure that you have dumped any cached files it might be using and saving your change correctly. Sounds like you need a refresh somewhere.

Thinking...
Saving change correctly: Yes
Dump cached files: No....but how would I do that? I don't think I have any cached files since I haven't been saving my game each time I test a script.

Okay, I fixed it. Apparently, I had to change ! to != when comparing two values...the tut I was looking at did not make that clear.
