Hi - sorry to bother with such a basic question, but is there a better way
to write the following: (before I move on I want to make sure I am following
best practice)

def require_number number_cur
puts number_cur
reply = gets.to_i

while reply < 100
reply = reply + 1
puts reply
end

if reply > 100
true
require_number 'Please enter a number less than 100: '
end
end
require_number 'Enter a number: '

Thanks so much!

Not elegant, but better:

def require_number(prompt, max)
print prompt
reply = gets.to_i
if reply >= max then reply = require_number "Please enter a number
less than #{max}: ", max end
reply
end

require_number 'Please enter a number: ', 100

Thank you for taking the time - could I trouble you further? If I want
the "reply" to iterate through until it reaches 100 could just add the
"while" to your code as below?

def require_number(prompt, max)
print prompt
reply = gets.to_i
if reply >= max then reply = require_number "Please enter a number
less than #{max}: ", max end
while reply < max
reply = reply + 1
puts reply
end
end
require_number 'Please enter a number: ', 100

Even better is
reply.upto(max - 1) { |x| puts x }

I'm not the one pretending to know things like they were at the
interview. You're a liar plain and simple.

This will have one good result more Conservatives in Education.
That must really scare the Far left.

Conservatives should stop all funding to schools that hire based on
Political views.

You didn't follow the Faux News link, I see.
