Here is what I have(with tests) to try to get 1 training set to add up all numbers(without the dotProduct of weights) using IO.readlines, splitting each line using split, for loops to get an array of integers to be added together to get output for Perceptron_Bond object named einstein. coding is as follows class Perceptron_Bond attr_reader :weights, :output attr_writer :weights, :output def initialize(input, weights) @weights = weights @input =input end def output y = @input.inject(0) {|sum, element | sum+element} @output=y end end str = ARGV[0] inputs = Array.new inputs1 = Array.new inputsNum = Array.new setArr = Array.new answers = Array.new arr = IO.readlines(str) arr.shift arr.shift arr.each { |y| inputs1.push(y.split)} inputs1.each do|x| answers.push(x.last) x.pop end for i in 0...inputs1.length setArr[i]= Array.new for j in 0...inputs1[i].length inputsNum[j] = Array.new inputsNum[j].push(Integer(inputs1[i][j])) if j==(inputs1[i].length-1) then inputs[i] = inputsNum end end puts inputs[i].to_s end puts inputs.to_s puts inputs[2][1].class ==> Array #i want fixnum initWeights = Array.new(inputs.length) { |index| index =0 } einstein = Perceptron_Bond.new(inputs[0] , initWeights) puts einstein.output #should produce fixnum 2 i get an error as well in output telling me I cannot coerce an Array to a fixnum Im guessing its stemming from the nested for loops I have, but I am just stumped I need help in a bad way, please.
