Feedback on Code/Script

Hey guys, I am currently creating a Vector Calculator program on Mac
OSX. I have the main scripting done, and it will run from terminal. I
plan on creating a graphical application using shoes once this is all
complete. I was wondering if a few of you would be able to test my
script and give me some feedback. It seems seems to run smoothly in
terminal but I would like to get some feedback before I continue on
creating the graphical side. Any help or feedback will be greatly
appreciated. Also if anyone has any opinions on a better toolkit to use
to create a graphical application with ruby please share.

Thanks.

I tried Shoes but ended up using Tk, it seemed more suitable for my
purposes. The best thing to do is play with a few UI generators and get
a feel for how they work and which interface works best for you.

It seems to work ok.

What are you trying to accomplish with this line?
else answer == "n"
All it does it return true, but you don't use the output.

Also you can can accomplish this kind of thing:

puts
puts "Vector A = #{vect_A}"
puts

Like this:

puts "\nVector A = #{vect_A}\n"

On OSX? By all means go native with MacRuby.

Thanks for that. The purpose of the

else answer == "n"

is for the code to skip that section, n if for no. Just though I'd
clarify incase you didn't try skipping.

Again, thanks heaps for this, really appreciate it.
