While looping in Ruby. What's wrong?

Question

ruby

I decided to learn Ruby. I came across an online book, but one example does not run correctly on my computer.

The while loop does not end when you type "while". Although it is clear from the logic that the cycle must end. The example was copied and pasted into the editor, so there should not be an error. I don't understand what is wrong. Please help me figure it out :)

Or use English instead of Russian :)
