- Ruby is my first programming language. When learning it, I spent a lot of time looking up documentation and googling. I was inspired by Sarah Drasner's Javascript Array Explorer and ported it to Ruby.
- To quote Sarah, "please keep in mind that this is not meant to be as comprehensive or a replacement for full documentation". Each method also links to the Ruby docs.
- I based the examples and longer descriptions off the Ruby docs, altering as needed to make it more beginner-friendly.
- Ruby commands always return something.
- At the prompt of irb, a Ruby shell, typing in
nums = [4, 5, 6]
and pressing enter results in=> [4, 5, 6]
. - Similarly, the code in [Ruby Array Explorer]((https://contrepoint.github.io/ruby-array-explorer/) shows you what is returned at the end of every command.
- Thus,
nums = [4, 5, 6] #=> [4, 5, 6]
means thatnums = [4, 5, 6]
returns[4, 5, 6]
