=begin
In my web page there is a text field "Age".
I would like to enter age into that field.
I written a code such that
ie.text_field(:name,'age').set(25)
It it throwing below error
undefined method `length' for 123:Fixnum (NoMethodError).

But It is not throwing an error if I written the code as below
ie.text_field(:name,'age').set('25')
=end

This looks to me like you are using the watir library.
This is not about ruby itself.

It is a text field. It expects text. Only the program receiving this input
can validate its input to be a number, and possibly only an integer.
If you must pass in a number, you can use .to_s to make it into a string.

Hope that helps
Hugh
