11,053 Points"The 'house' variable did not contain the correct elements"? Not sure what I'm doing wrong here
Here is my code:
array = ["Tree", "House"] house = [] house.push(array.select { |item| item.length > 4 })
Not sure why it's saying the 'house' variable doesn't contain correct elements. Ran the exact lines of code in my own IDE and it returns house array with 'house' as it's only item (as it should). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?
array = ["Tree", "House"]
house = []
house.push(array.select { |item| item.length > 4 })

Treehouse Moderator 28,720 PointsI like your approach! However, the push
statement is not needed here. This is what you are looking for:
array = ["Tree", "House"]
house = array.select{ |n| n.length > 4 }
