No problem. The C program you gave doesn't do anything useful - the 
values of 'str' and 'num' don't change in the loop - so it looked like 
an odd thing to want to translate into Ruby.

If you'd asked "how do I make a loop which runs 10 times?" or "how do I 
insert the value of a variable into a string?" I'd have been more 
inclined to give a straightforward answer.
