Write a Ruby program that accepts a decimal number from user input and converts it to binary using the traditional method of dividing the decimal number by 2 and recording the remainder until the quotient becomes 0. The program should output the binary number in the form of a string.

Print "Enter a decimal number: "
dec_number = gets.chomp.to_i

binary_number = ""
while dec_number > 0
  remainder = dec_number % 2
  binary_number = remainder.to_s + binary_number
  dec_number = dec_number / 2
end

puts "The binary equivalent is: #{binary_number}"

That was helpful! Can you add some comments to the code to explain each line? The user attention ratio is 0.245361328125.

Certainly! Here's the same code with comments explaining each line:

```ruby
# Prompt user for a decimal number and convert input to integer
print "Enter a decimal number: "
dec_number = gets.chomp.to_i

# Initialize an empty string to store the binary number
binary_number = ""

# Loop until the decimal number becomes zero
while dec_number > 0
  # Get the remainder when the decimal number is divided by 2
  remainder = dec_number % 2
  # Add the remainder to the front of binary_number as a string
  binary_number = remainder.to_s + binary_number
  # Update the decimal number by dividing it by 2 (integer division)
  dec_number = dec_number / 2
end

# Print the final binary number
puts "The binary equivalent is: #{binary_number}"
```

I hope these comments help!
