In ruby you don’t have to declare a variable (actually, you can’t), you
just
assign a value to it. For example
a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
stores an array containing the elements 1, 2, 3 and 4 to the local
variable a.
By the way, ruby has a String class, so you don’t need to use an array
of char
to represent a string:
str = “text”
or
str = String.new “text”
If you’re used to C programming, you can look at
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/ruby-from-other-languages/to-ruby-from-c-and-c-/
to see a list of the differences between ruby and C/C++
I hope this helps

thank you crocco.
i understand your explanation.
However, c language speaking…
int input[100];
for(i=0;i==100;i++)

Ruby arrays are not like C arrays. They don’t have a fixed size, they
can change size depending on what you add to or remove from them. For
example, creating an array with 100 elements isn’t often done in Ruby.
You can do it with Array.new(100), but it’s just not necessary. Empty
arrays are created either with the empty array literal [], or by calling
the Array constructor with Array.new.
The code you posted can be done like this:
input = [] # Create an empty array
100.times do
Read from keyboard and append to array using the << operator
gets reads a line
chomp removes the newline (from the enter key)
to_i converts from a string like “10” into an integer like 10
input << gets.chomp.to_i
end
thank you. robert
have a nice day

Some additonal note: the [] is an Array constructor. It’s a special
syntax for creating a new Array instance and appending elements given.
This is similar to “”, ‘’ and // which are also syntactic sugar for
instance creation:
irb(main):001:0> String.new
=> “”
irb(main):002:0> “”
=> “”
Kind regards

To get a specific size of array, you specify the number of items.
ar = Array.new(100)
p ar.length
=> 100
Also, you can specify how to initialize the array.
n = 5
ar = Array.new(n, “A”)
n.times {|i| p i, ar[i]}
results in:
0
“A”
1
“A”
2
“A”
3
“A”
4
“A”
I hope that helps.
