Primary LanguageJavaScript

  • 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.

Notes:

  • 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 that nums = [4, 5, 6] returns [4, 5, 6]
