Hi everyone,=0A=0ALong time developer here, new to Ruby.=0A=0AI have a simp=
le, single file Ruby program that randomly chooses a response to input text=
. I have a method to return the the array of responses, which I call furthe=
r into the file in my main routine. This is the method:=0A=0Adef get_respon=
ses=0A=A0=A0=A0 [=0A=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 "Got it.",=0A=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 "I=
nteresting. I've made a note of that.",=0A=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 "Noted.",=0A=
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 "Right.",=0A=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 "I see.",=0A=A0=A0=A0 =
=A0=A0=A0 "As you say."=0A=A0=A0=A0 ]=0Aend=0A=0AIs this conventional? Is t=
here any benefit in late acquisition of this array, or would it be normal t=
o just assign it to a variable up front?=0A=0A=0AThanks in advance,=0A=0AJo=
