I though I got the loop principle, but this question has completely stumped me. Would really appreciate some help???????

I get the loop principles, the thing I am having trouble with is adding the values into the array.

Could really do with a hand to stop me going mad.

Thank you

loop.rb 
numbers = []

number = 0

numbers[0] = number

Hi Andrew,

Adding items to an array can be done with push. e.g. You could also use unshift to add to the beginning, or insert to add in a certain position, but I think push is fine for this task.

numbers = []

number = 0

loop do
  numbers.push(number)
  number += 1
    if numbers.count >= 3
      break
    end
end

I would like to say I was close, but I wasn't. Thanks
