Subject: how to copy array in ruby

HI

I am a novice in Ruby programming so this question might look trivial
to lot of people.

But I am struggling to copy an array.

I am using

a = []
b = a

/* some manipulation here on "b" and "a" I havent touched at all*/

Here when i am trying to see contents of "a" and "b" both have same
contents

But my expectation was they shud be different

Instead of b = a, I also tried b.replace(a)

but no luck here also.

Please help me on how to make a duplicate("b") of "a" so that changes
done on b will not affect a

Thanks
