You should be able to do this without JavaScript by using streaming.

That means you don't have the highline gem installed, it is a little =
more verbose if you don't use that, we have to check for the input being =
exhausted and for input which can't be turned into a Float so maybe:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

CONST =3D 28977682.9

catch (:done) do
  loop  do
    print "Enter number: "
    throw :done unless response =3D gets

    if num =3D Float(response) rescue nil
      puts CONST / num
    else
      puts "enter a number please."
    end
  end
end

puts "Bye!"

__END__           =20

Hope this helps,

Mike
