This is an example of a hash:

h = {"a"=>"circle", "b"=>"square", "c"=>"triangle"}
puts h["a"]

--output:--
circle

Note that every element of a hash is a key/value pair.  You say, "I want 
to put my strings into a hash", but the elements of a hash are not 
single objects--the elements of a hash are pairs of objects.   If your 
strings are to be the values, what do you want to be the keys?
