Hi. I don't know what's happened here.
Here's what I put in the console, along with error messages:
irb(main):001:0> grocery_list = ["milk", "eggs", "bread", "ice cream", "pie", pot
atoes"]
irb(main):002:1" grocery_list = ["milk", "eggs", "bread", "ice cream", "pie", pot
atoes"]
SyntaxError: (irb):1: syntax error, unexpected tSTRING_BEG, expecting keyword_do
or '{' or '('
..., "ice cream", "pie", potatoes"]
... ^
(irb):2: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting end-of-input
grocery_list = ["milk", "eggs", "bread", "ice crea...
^
from /usr/local/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'
irb(main):003:0> grocery_list = ["milk", "eggs", "bread", "ice cream", "pie", pot
atoes"]
I'd appreciate any help please.
