Hash assignment (what's happening?

Quiroz, Hector

10/5/2007 2:16:00 PM

From within irb, I'm creating a hash and populating it with the
following data.

irb(main):007:0> {:QHector => 1967, :WKelly => 2551, :ECron => 0220,
:VLaura => 4003, :LWalter => 1188}



Why is the value for the ':ECron' coming back as 144 instead of 0220?

=> {:ECron=>144, :VLaura=>4003, :LWalter=>1188, :QHector=>1967,
:WKelly=>2551}
irb(main):008:0>



Thanks for your help in advance.

Oops, the number is being interpreted by ruby as an Octal! Duh.
