Interactive Ruby (better known as "irb") is a special Ruby prompt,
which allows you to input Ruby code, and have it "run" immediately.
While you can use it to run scripts and applications, it's a bin
cumbersome. So, better to use the Command Prompt with Ruby.

Unless Ruby is in your PATH (if you didn't change any default settings
in the RubyInstaller, it isn't, however), where any command prompt
will work.

A method of solution is perfect if we can forsee from the start,
and even prove, that following that method we shall attain our aim.
