Good! Now let's try something new. You may have noticed this weird little line of code repeated in our example:
variable_name = gets.chomp
gets is the Ruby method that gets input from the user. When getting input, Ruby automatically adds a blank line (or newline) after each bit of input; chomp removes that extra line. (Your program will work fine without chomp, but you'll get extra blank lines everywhere.)
