I need a Ruby method that takes an array of numbers as an input parameter and returns the count of the number of distinct numbers in the array.
this is what I had but I not sure

def inputmethod
inlist =[] # an empty array
print "Enter a number or just hit 'Enter' to quit"
myin = gets.chomp
while(myin.length>0)
inlist = inlist << myin.to_i
print "Enter a number or just hit 'Enter' to quit"
myin = gets.chomp
end
return inlist
end

could someone help me if I'm right?
