 var gets = require("./index");
 
 function validateNumber(input) {
   if (isNaN(parseInt(input))) {
     console.log("Not a number");
     return false;
   } else {
     return true;
   }
 };
 
 gets("A number please", validateNumber, function(answer){
   console.log(answer)
   process.exit();
 });
