    Does it matter if indentations for the loops "line up" for Ruby loops? I am specifically wondering about "end"

    Why is the print "Enter your name..." and name = gets.chomp in the loop? They're not needed for looping.

    I understand all of the code from this video with one exception; what does !name.index(/\d/) accomplish? Thanks :)

    Why do you need to declare the empty string "name" at the beginning of the function?
