Subject: Re: Using gets and split

hi Reese,

> all_input = gets
> all_input = all_input.to_s.split("\n")

  the #to_s method is unnecessary here, as #gets returns a String 
already

  if you're splitting on new lines ("\n"), everything you get with 
`gets` will be in one element of the array, as there is only one new 
line...  similarly, if you change the string to be "soandsoandsoandso," 
it will still wind up as only one element of the array, as there is only 
one new line...

  for comparison, try:

  str = "soandsoandso"
  arr = str.split("o")

  p arr

  => ["s", "ands", "ands"]

  - j
