Random Number Game

It was a little difficult to come up with how to assign the random number to the variable -- it was a durrr moment for sure. So without further ado here is the first part of the program (or problem #2 according to that post I linked to above:)

randomNumber = rand(10)
randomNumber = randomNumber + 1
print( 'Guess my number! Enter a number (1-10): ')
userNumber = gets.chomp()
puts( "Your number is #{userNumber}. My number is #{randomNumber}.
This program is not yet advanced enough to tell you whether you
are correct -- but you should be able to tell.")

Here is problem #3:

# Try to figure out if there is a way to chomp & convert to an integer on
# same line (lines 7 and 8)
# Try to figure out how to print failure message (lines 14-16 & 20-22) for
# both cases in which the user is incorrect without having it in the program
# twice. 

randNumber = rand(10)
randNumber = randNumber + 1
print( 'Guess my number! Enter a number (1-10): ')
userNumber = gets.chomp.to_i()
if userNumber == randNumber
 puts( 'You guessed correctly! You are SOOO smart!')
elsif userNumber > randNumber
 puts( "Your number (#{userNumber}) is higher than my number (#{randNumber}.") 
 print( "You are unable to guess again because you are such a failure. It
has nothing to do with my inability to program this such that you could
guess again.")

else
 puts( "Your number (#{userNumber}) is lower than my number (#{randNumber}.)")
 print( "You are unable to guess again because you are such a failure. It
has nothing to do with my inability to program this such that you could
guess again.")

 end

Update:
I figured out how to fix problem #3 for that error message. Dumbest thing ever... how about a variable? I'm sure we all have those blonde moments, though. Also, got help from a friend on the chomp.to_i thing (that's what you do>> gets.chomp.CONVERSION NOT gets.CONVERSION.chomp.) New code:

randNumber = rand(10)
randNumber = randNumber + 1
print( 'Guess my number! Enter a number (1-10): ')
userNumber = gets.chomp.to_i()
failureMessage = 'You are unable to guess again because you are such a failure. It
has nothing to do with my inability to program this in such a way that you 
could guess again.'
if userNumber == randNumber
 puts( 'You guessed correctly! You are SOOO smart!')
elsif userNumber > randNumber
 puts( "Your number (#{userNumber}) is higher than my number (#{randNumber}.") 
 print failureMessage

else
 puts( "Your number (#{userNumber}) is lower than my number (#{randNumber}.)")
 print failureMessage

 end

Problem #5 was much easier to complete and more fun as I'm getting the hang of loops:

randNumber = rand(10)
randNumber = randNumber + 1
count = 0
userNumber = ()
print( 'Guess my number! Enter a number (1-10): ')

while userNumber != randNumber
  userNumber = gets.chomp.to_i()
  count = count + 1
  failureMessage = 'You did not guess correctly. Guess again:'

  if userNumber == randNumber
 puts( "You guessed correctly! It took you #{count} time(s) to guess.")
  
  elsif userNumber > randNumber
 puts( "Your number (#{userNumber}) is higher than my number.")
 print failureMessage

  else
 puts( "Your number #{userNumber} is lower than my number.")
 print failureMessage

  end
end
