Arrays

Literals of class Array are created by placing a comma-separated series of object references between square brackets. A trailing comma is ignored.

arr = [ fred, 10, 3.14, "This is a string", barney("pebbles"), ]

Arrays of strings can be constructed using a shortcut notation, %w, which extracts space-separated tokens into successive elements of the array. A space can be escaped with a backslash. This is a form of general delimited input, described on pages 200--201.

arr = %w( fred wilma barney betty great\ gazoo )
arr ["fred", "wilma", "barney", "betty", "great gazoo"]
