3,587 PointsHow can I use the value that the select return? I don't understand how to finish that challenge.
I don't find any documentation that explain the way that we are using the select method. Event the last video does not show how to store the returning value of the block.
array = ["Tree", "House"]
house = []
array.select { |item|
item.length > 4
house.push(item)
}

The following should work:
array = ["Tree","House"]
house = array.select { |a| a.length > 4 }

If you remove the push
line, and assign the array.select
to house
then your code is fine.
You'd end up with:
array = ["Tree", "House"]
house = array.select { |item|
item.length > 4
}
... which is what Abdulrahman also came up with.
Steve.
