Subject: Re: displaying user inputed arrays

Thanks you all for your help i have finished my code (so far) and just 
have one question...
is this enough to be ready to move on to making a small game?

print "What is your name? "
name = gets.chomp
puts "Hello  #{name}"

print "How many years old are you? "
years_old = gets.chomp.to_i
hours_old = (years_old * 365) * 24
puts "Your name is #{name} and your are #{hours_old} hours old"


answered = false #if person has answered y/n question
print "Do you want to know how many seconds old you are #{name}? (Y/N)"
while not answered #if the person hasnt answered (makes loop question if 
wrong answer)
answer = gets.chomp
seconds_old = hours_old.to_i * 60 * 60

  case answer.upcase[0] #makes first letter of the answer cap and and 
array
    when "Y"[0] #if first letter of answer is y, Y then... ([0] is 
making y, Y first letter of array or answer)
      puts "You are #{seconds_old} seconds old"
      answered = true #leaves the while not loop
    when "N"[0] #same as Y but with N
      puts "Ok Then"
      answered = true #leaves the while not loop
    else
      puts "Ummm...Yes or No?"
  end
end

answered = false
puts "type in a number 1-100: "
while not answered
print_times = gets.chomp.to_i - 1
  if print_times > 100
    puts "Please enter a number between 1 and 100"
  else
    answered = true
  end
end

answered = false
puts "ok now type in a word 1-10 letters long: "
while not answered
print_word = gets.chomp
  if print_word.length > 10
    puts "Please enter a word between 1 and 10 letters long"
  else
    answered = true
  end
end
1.upto(print_times) do |q|
  puts print_word + "\n"
end

places = ["first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth"]
puts "Please enter 5 words"
until (a = (gets.scan /\w+/) - [""]).length == 5
  puts "Please type in exactly FIVE words, thanks."
end
puts "You would like to print out which word number? (1-5)"
until (1..5).include?(n = gets.chomp.to_i)
  puts "Please pick a number 1 through 5"
end
puts "The #{places[n - 1]} word you choose was #{a[n - 1]}"
