Solution in ruby

This is my third program in ruby after the ruby tutorial and half of the rails tutorial, so don't expect anything too good from it.

Also i did this today since i had time, i will probably not comment every day.

fyi for lines 14-22 you an use .abs instead of checking for negatives and .sum instead of doing it manually. Check my crystal solution to see what I mean
