basically, you are not passing ints, you're passing strings.  And they 
will never equal.

sidelength.to_i returns the integer representation of sidelength, however 
it does not change sidelength.

Likewise noofiterations.

Then when you do your comparison, it will never evaluate as true, so you 
never break out of the loop.
