Hello, I am noodling with the Ruby Koans and I ran across an Array slice behavior that I just can't quite wrap my brain around:
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :102 > array = [:peanut, :butter, :and, :jelly] => [:peanut, :butter, :and, :jelly] ruby-1.9.2-p180 :103 > array[4,0] => [] ruby-1.9.2-p180 :104 > array[5,0] => nil from http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Array.html#M000267 "Returns nil if the index (or starting index) are out of range." I don't understand why the 4th element is an empty array, whereas the 5th element is out of range. I would expect the 4th element to be out of range as 'array' contains elements 0-3. Can someone plz explain? Thanks! -Tk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
