# Suppose I want to the user to enter names one at a time, until the user enters a blank line, 
# then tell each name that they're awesome. In a typical programming language, my first instinct
# would be to do:

while (name = gets.chomp) != ""
    puts name + ", you are so awesome"

# or perhaps alternatively, to get the names to print afterwards
