year.rb

begin
  puts 'What is your name?'
  name = gets.chomp

  puts 'Are you a Freshman, Sophomore, Junior or Senior?'
  grade = gets.chomp.downcase

  if grade == 'freshman'
    year = 9
  elsif grade == 'sophmore'
    year = 10
  elsif grade == 'junior'
    year = 11
  elsif grade == 'senior'
    year = 12
  else
    puts 'Not a valid choice'
    exit
  end

  puts "Hi #{name}, you are in year #{year}"

  puts 'Would you like to try again? y/n'
  continue = gets.chomp.downcase[0]
end while continue == 'y'
