# A simple Ruby implementation of the Look-and-Say sequence (also known
# as the Conway sequence or the Morris puzzle).
#
# In the Look-and-say Sequence, each term describes the previous term.
# So, the first term is "1". This term consists of 1 of the digit '1',
# so the next term is "11". This term consists of 2 of the digit '1',
# so the next term is "21". This term consists of a single 2, followed
# by a single "1", and so the next term is "1211". The next term would
# be "111221", and so forth.
