It should return a one-element Array. Interestingly, when the element is a String, `last(n)` returns a one-element Array, expectedly. I have checked the behaviour with some selected past versions of Ruby. In up to Ruby-2.6.5, it worked correctly. In Ruby-2.7.0, it doesn't. Nor in Ruby-3, including the current version (Ruby-3.1.2). The following demonstrates the behaviour (Ruby-3.1.2; same in Ruby-2.7.0). Only the first one does not work in the way it should. ```ruby (8..8).last(1) # => [] (!!) (should be: [8]) (8..8).to_a.last(1) # => [8] (8..8).first(1) # => [8] (?a..?a).last(1) #=> ["a"] (?a..?a).to_a.last(1) #=> ["a"] (?a..?a).first(1) #=> ["a"] ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
