Ruby does not care what type of value each variable is. Here's a very
simple way to do what you want:

B = Struct.new( :my_int, :my_string )  # A very simple way to create a
class
                                       # that is just a container for
simple properties

b1 = B.new( 12, "hello" )
b2 = B.new( 42, "world" )
my_array = [ b1, b2 ]                  # An array of B instances

b3 = B.new( 54, "foobar" )
my_array << b3                         # append one more value to the
array
