I wrote my code this way:
class Array def array @array = [] end
end
array = Array.new
class Array
def array
@array = []
end
end
array = Array.new

We're creating new instances of a String
and an Array
. We don't need to implement a new class for either.
So just call new
on each of the two types and assign them into the variable names, as given:
string = String.new
array = Array.new
That's all there is to it!
Steve.
