Filling multidimensional array problem

Ruby
1

Hi,

I want to extend a complex, multidimensional array with (code snippet):

results.each do |result|
result[1] << [string, array]
puts result[1]
end
puts results

The output of “result[1]” is correct, showing the [string, array] is
attached.
But putting “results” shows, that “array” is not in “results”.

Does anyone no why?

But putting “result” might be more to your
liking.

There’s no one thing that’s true. It’s all true.

I don’t understand what you are meaning.
I have results to be extended.

You might have to post working code rather than a snippet. Putting in
some test data seems to work fine in irb:

irb(main):001:0> string = ‘hi’
=> “hi”
irb(main):002:0> array = [1,2,3]
=> [1, 2, 3]
irb(main):003:0> results = [[0,[]],[0,[]]]
=> [[0, []], [0, []]]
irb(main):004:0> results.each do |result|
irb(main):005:1* result[1] << [string,array]
irb(main):006:1> puts result[1]
irb(main):007:1> end
hi
1
2
3
hi
1
2
3
=> [[0, [[“hi”, [1, 2, 3]]]], [0, [[“hi”, [1, 2, 3]]]]]
irb(main):008:0> puts results
0
hi
1
2
3
0
hi
1
2
3
=> nil
