ruby loops Challenge Task 1 of 1

I am not sure how to write the code

loop.rb 
numbers = [0]

number = 0

# write your loop here
loop do
  add number = [1]
  if number == "0, 1, 2"
    break
  end
end

Hello, Sara! You're on the right track but your code needs a few changes to pass!

numbers = []

number = 0

# write your loop here
loop do
  numbers.push(number)
  number += 1

  if numbers.length >= 3
    break
  end
end

The numbers.push(number) adds the value of "number" into the numbers array, the "number += 1" adds 1 to the value every time it is looped(first loop = 1, second loop =2, etc.) and the if statement here will "break" when the value is greater or equal to three. I hope that helps!
