Instead of just an if could you wrap this in a loop, until they entered a choice on the list? We did something similar in the textbook notes complex conditionals.

end

puts "Please give me your first number"
first_num = gets.to_f

Similarly, is there anything you could do to ensure that the user enters a number?

num = ""
until num.to_i.to_s == num
  puts "Please enter a number"
  num = gets.chomp
end

puts "Please give me your second number"
second_num = gets.to_f


if (choice == "add" || choice == "+")
total_add = first_num + second_num
puts total_add
elsif (choice == "subtract" || choice == "-")
total_subtract = first_num - second_num
puts total_subtract
elsif (choice == "multiply" || choice == "*")
total_multiply = first_num * second_num
puts total_multiply
elsif (choice == "divide" || choice == "/")
total_divided = first_num / second_num
puts total_divided
end
