Introduction to Array and Hash

Introduction to Array and Hash

Learn about the Ruby data types—array and hash.

We'll cover the following...

In previous exercises, we used simple data types, such as strings and integers (called Fixnum prior to Ruby 2.4). There are also composite data types, which are a collection of other types. The most common composite data types are arrays and hashes. A variable of type array is like a list of objects. A variable of type hash is a dictionary-like lookup, where each value is stored against a key.
