    # In ruby numbers also have methods.
    # The times method allows you to run a given block of code 
    # a certain number of times:
    
    10.times do
      line @x, @y, @x, @y + @len
      @x += @spacing
    end
    
    # There's also an alternative method called step,
    # You call it on the number you'd like to start with,
    # passing it the end number, and the size of the steps to take:
    # start_num.step(stop_num, step_size) { |value| do_something_with value ...
    
    50.step(150, @spacing) { |x| line x, @y, x, @y + @len }
    
    # The curly braces are an alternative form for writing do ... end.
    # So, I guess this isn't much of a demonstration of the for loop...
