Take It Out |
Due: Feb 6, 2007 |
Write a ruby program which prompts for and
reads one line of input. It then echos
the line, then prints it repeatedly, each time removing every second character.
It continues until no more characters can be removed.
Treat all characters alike; no special treatment for spaces or
punctuation.
