There are many ways to create or initialize an array.
Ruby array new block.
Ruby arrays grow automatically while adding elements to them.
New first array matz guido first array.
First array matz guido second array array.
New 3 index index 2 0 1 4.
New 3 index index 2 0 1 4.
Each element in this array is created by passing the element s index to the given block and storing the return value.
In the last form an array of the given size is created.
Nums array new an array object is created.
Ruby arrays can hold objects such as string integer fixnum hash symbol even other array objects.
Usr bin ruby nums array new nums push 1 nums push 2 nums push 3 nums push 4 nums push 5 puts nums in the script we first create a nums array.
Nums push 1 the push method appends an item to the end of the array.
Then we add five integers to it.
Def my map array new array for element in array new array push yield element end new array end my map 1 2 3 do number number 2 end output 2 4 6.
Each element in this array is created by passing the element s index to the given block and storing the return value.
New first array matz guido first array.
Calling yield for each of the elements in the array mimics the behavior of the built in ruby iterators.
Let s see how you can write a method similar to the map method in ruby.
Ruby arrays are not as rigid as arrays in other languages.
One way is with the new class method names array new.
