Replace integer entered into gets.chomp input field

So I'm completely new to Ruby. I apologize in advance.

A few lessons in on code-academy and I thought of testing the waters a bit. The code I am playing with is like so,

puts "Enter some text"
input_value = gets.chomp

hello_value = "whats up"

if input_value.include? "hello"
input_value.gsub! "hello", "#{hello_value}"
end

puts input_value

This seems to work fine. However, when I try adding a number like so,

puts "Enter some number"
input_value = gets.chomp

number_value = 1000

if input_value.include? "100"
input_value.gsub! "100", "#{number_value}"
end

puts input_value

This seems to freeze up after entering the number. I have no idea as what could be wrong. I was actually looking at ways to replace a entered value. Unfortunately, my very limited knowledge has stumped me completely lol. Any feedback on what I could do to resolve this would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

The code looks fine. Just be sure that you're inputting 100, because that's your condition: input_value.include? "100".

So, if you input

Hello100World

Your code outputs

Hello1000World

As expected, right?
