Ruby - Day 1 - bonus problem (7l7w)

guess-the-number.rb

puts "What's the maximum number?"
max_num = gets().to_i
number_to_guess = rand(max_num + 1)

puts "Thinking of a number between 0 and #{max_num} ... OK."
guess = nil

while guess != number_to_guess do
  puts "Please make a guess ..."
  guess = gets().to_i
  puts "Too high!" if guess > number_to_guess
  puts "Too low!" if guess < number_to_guess
end

puts "Well done! You got it!"

Same comment as on Mary-annes code, you can eliminate the guess assignment by writing
while (guess ||= nil) != number_to_guess do

The trailing 'if' clause feels more rubyish than an if...elsif statement.
