And that for personal use, I'm creating a system to keep track of
these units on a daily basis and I'm simply rendering @points in the
following manner in my view:
<p><b>Points:</b> <%= @points %></p>
But when @points equals 0, I get the nasty message:
NoMethodError in FoodsController#show
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil./
What would one do to make it OK to have a 0 instead of causing it to
evaluate nil?
What I need is something that returns the minimum of food.fiber or 4,
whichever is lower. I appreciate your help--I'm just a programming
idiot to begin with and even moreso at Ruby/Rails.
