You want to expand (or evaluate) the result of a function call or expression within a string.
You don't need to do anything different in Ruby:
% "1 + 1 = #{1+1} and able was I er#{'able was I e'.reverse} is a palendrome"
"1 + 1 = 2 and able was I ere I saw elba is a palendrome"
Unlike perl and many other languages, Ruby's mechanism to embed variables into strings also works with any expression. As a result, you can put nearly anything between "#{}" and it's string representation (by calling #to_s) is interpolated.
Perl has some tricky hacks like "${\(some expression)}" where you make a scalar reference to the result of an expression and then immediately dereference it. You can also do the same with a list expression. It is usually more efficient (and easier to read) if you just concatinate expressions together with ".".
