Hello,

Another basic question, thanks for the help on the last one. I wanted to
come up with the above described program and came up with this:

# array.rb start

a = [1]
x = 0
while x < 99
a[(x+1)] = (a[x] + 1)
x = x + 1
end
p a

# array.rb end

This worked fine, but is there a more elegant way of doing this? It seems a
bit clumsy.

Brian

Actually Goldwater was probably the last honest
Republican. He really believed in smaller government,
fiscal restraint, and personal freedom. Which is why
the neo-cons shoved him out of the party for not
signing on with their Religious Right morality that
dictated what everyone should believe, borrow-and-spend,
government-as-Big-Brother attitude.

I remember reading an interview with Goldwater shortly before his
death. His comments on some people (not verbatim)

Falwell-a crackpot.
Gingrich- talks too much
Limbaugh- I have better things to do with my time.
