Subject: Referncing values of local variables

I apologize in advance, because I know this gets asked again and again 
(and again.....) by newbies, but my searches don't show a clear answer, 
and none of my attempts work.

This should be simple.  I want to define a constant,

                             a = 3

then reference the value of a in arguments like,

                   temp_array = Array.new(a)


such that the temp_array is assigned a size of 3.


This always seems to result in complaints about undefined local variable 
or methods.  Eval doesn't seem to make it work.

What I am doing wrong??
