Biquine between Ruby and Java in less than 100 lines of Ruby with use of ASCII table.

ruby_to_java_biquine.rb

# PRELUDE:
# This is my first biquine. It is between Ruby and Java. 
# It uses ASCII table to handle issues involving fixed point.
# It should work with all versions of Ruby but it definitely works in 2.0
# It should work with all versions of Java and definitely works with 7.
# It is not super DRY so it can be refactored to be shorter but 96 lines
# is not so bad I guess (I know it is pretty terrible).

# Also it is fun to write so if you haven't tried, I highly reccommend it.

# USAGE:
# To get Ruby code with Ruby
#   ruby ruby_to_java_biquine.rb

# To get Java code with Ruby
#   ruby ruby_to_java_biquine.rb bro

# Save Java code to a file named brother.java
# then compile it.
# To get Java code with Java
#   java brother
# To get Ruby code with Java
#   java brother bro
