Subject: Re: newbie question

Thank you Jason,
    That process had skipped my mind for some reason I thought just 
setting the variable to true would kill the loop.
this is my revised code.

My first program without just typing out an example from a book

here we go.

any suggestions on how to clean it up would be great.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

first_number = []
second_number = []
answer = []
quit = false

def check_if_blank input
    if(input == '')
        return true
    else   
        return false
    end
end

while (quit == false)
    if(quit == false)
        puts 'Enter a number'
        first = gets.chomp
        first_test = check_if_blank first
            if(first_test == false)
                first_number.push first.to_i
            else
                quit = true
            end
    end
    if(first_test == false)
        puts '...good.'
        puts 'Now enter a number to multiply to the first number'
        second = gets.chomp
        second_test = check_if_blank second
            if(second_test == false)
                second_number.push  second.to_i
                answer.push first_number[(first_number.length) -1] * 
second_number[(second_number.length) -1]
                puts first_number[(first_number.length) -1].to_s + ' * ' 
+ second_number[(second_number.length) -1].to_s + ' = ' + 
answer[(answer.length) -1].to_s
            else
                quit = true

            end
    end
   
    if(second_number.length == 5)
        quit = true
    end   
end

if(second_test == false)
    finished = false
    amount_of_answers = 0
    puts
    puts 'okay now we are going to look at all the questions your asked 
and their respective answers'
        while(finished != true)
            if(amount_of_answers == first_number.length)
                finished = true
            else
                puts first_number[amount_of_answers].to_s + ' * ' + 
second_number[amount_of_answers].to_s + ' = ' + 
answer[amount_of_answers].to_s
                amount_of_answers += 1
            end
        end
end
