They are already Fixnums.

What? The array does accept fixum as an argument. The arguments you put into
the array are Fixnum objects.

-----------------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w

arr = [5, 5, 2002]

arr.each do |element|
   puts element.class
end

-----------------------------------------

Output:

Fixnum
Fixnum
Fixnum
