Ruby Help

The way you are calling Array.new is wrong. A function is called using (), however ruby allows you to omit them, BUT you must have a space in between the function name and parameters.

You can fix it in a number of ways, the easiest is just add a space between new and your array: (array=Array.new ["array"]). Or you can do a shorthand version and write array = ["array"].

Reading the ruby docs is a very good place to read how to create objects and how to use methods

Docs for Array(http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.0/Array.html#method-c-new)

Because that's not a legal way of instantiating an array in Ruby.

You can either:

arr = Array.new
arr.push("One") or arr[0] = "One"

or simply do it in one line:

arr = ["One"]

Sara, you're on the write track with using brackets, but using them basically removes the need to specify Array.new, they function as shorthand. So you can do:

array = ['array', 'another', 'yet another']

Another trick is to turn a list of words into an array using %w.

array2 = %w{array another another}
