I am new to Ruby so I apologize if this seems dumb.
I am currently running ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174)
[universal-darwin10.0].
When working in an irb session I'm having trouble with String element
reference.
Example:
a = "hello"
a[0] should return "h", but instead is returning 104.
Seems like it's return the ascii value of the element, but why?
When I do a[0,3] the return is the expected "hel".
Any ideas as to why a[0] is returning a FixNumb object?
Ideas / help would be greatly appreciated.
