something wrong here:
final = [] final << array.select {|item| item.length > 4 } p final
array = ["Tree", "House"]
final = []
final << array.select {|item| item.length > 4 }
p final

Treehouse TeacherHi Ervis Lapi ,
I ran your code and this is the return value I got:
p final
#=> [["House"]]
The return value is a nested array because the return value of .select
is an array.
You are "shoveling" the array returned by select into an empty array and that is why you finally have a nested array:
final = []
final << array.select {|item| item.length > 4 }
Try this instead:
final = array.select {|item| item.length > 4 }
p final
I hope this helps you! Stay safe and happy coding!
