Trouble with the very first prob on the Ruby Loops module. Prob nothing like tutorial video, recheck work not helpful.

Using the loop construct add the current value of number to the numbers array. inside the loop add 1 to the number variable. If the numbers array has more than 3 items, use the break keyword to exit the loop. given code: numbers = [ ] number = 0 my code: numbers.push(number) loop do number = number + 1 if numbers > 3 break end end I've tried a dozen other ways, I can't seem to find the answer. I'm brand new to ruby so I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but honestly the tutorial was nothing like the problem on this one.

loop.rb 
numbers = []

number = 0

# write your loop here

Hey James, I got this to pass.

loop do
    numbers << number
    number + 1
  if numbers.length >= 3
     break
  end
end
