1. [Act with Prudence](http://programmer.97things.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/Act with Prudence)

   Notes: Act with prudence and not accrue technical debt by accomplishing things in a quick and dirty manner.

2. Apply Functional Programming Principles

3. Ask "What Would the User Do?" (You Are not the User)

   Notes: We as programmers don't see things the same way as the users do. Need to get better at seeing past one's own experience / perceptions, and learn to see things the way users do. Best way to gather requirements is to watch users do the same activity - better than asking them about it.

## Why would the following code give run time error?
## Inputs to the program:
##    up to 100 entries from STDIN, values range : 1 ≤ n ≤ 10**18
##
inputs = []
while true
  input = $stdin.gets.chomp
  break if input.empty?
  inputs << input.to_i
