I'm pretty sure Ruby methods automagically return the last thing that gets evaluated within. Oh, and I don’t think you even need the return statement.

If you’re in Rails, you can take advantage of the Inflector class and do something like this:

>> phrase = ‘my Dog hAs FlEas’
=> “my Dog hAs FlEas”
>> phrase.downcase.gsub(/\s/, ‘_’).camelize
=> “MyDogHasFleas”
