Lets play a guessing game. (how to code this better?)

Show all headers | View raw

I am a new Rubyist. I told my friend that I was learning Ruby. He asked
me how that was going and then gave me a little challenge. His
challenge, "Write a text game that guesses numbers 0-100". My reply,
"you mean it picks a number at random, and you guess the number, it
tells you higher or lower until you get it?". Up to this point I had not
coded anything in Ruby on my own (aside from the examples in the book)
and I saw this as a great first challenge. So here is what I got. It
took me some time. I ran into trouble because I forgot to take into
consideration the Class of the variables and couldn't figure out why the
loops weren't working.
My question to you all... how could I have done this better or do you
seeing anything that is wrong.  Attached is the code. Thanks for the
feedback.
