The fully-tested interactive version of cheers, for cohort huckleberry

Specifications, for interactive version of cheers

Start the program by running ./cheers.rb

The program should ask:

Hello! What is your name?

The user types in their name, for example:

Abby

The program outputs a cheer in the following format:

Give me an... A

Give me a... B

Give me a... B

Give me a... Y

Abby’s just GRAND!

• If there was no input, ask again ("I'm sorry, what was your name again?") until valid input is provided
• Follow the proper grammatical for a and an. The rule is based on whether the spelling of a letter would begin with a vowel.
• Skip non-word characters when printing the cheer (e.g. "Give me a..." lines)
• Print the user's name out as it was originally input for the "just GRAND" line

After printing out the user's cheer, the program asks:

Hey, Abby, what's your birthday? (mm/dd)

The user types in their birthdate

08/25

• If there was no input, asks again until valid input is provided
• If there was input that couldn't be parsed, the program tries again, but with the prompt:

I couldn't understand that. Could you give that to me in mm/dd format?

The program then outputs the number of days until the user's birthday

Awesome! Your birthday is in 45 days! Happy Birthday in advance!
