Hi, I'm still trying to work on the same problem that I posted a few
days ago... when i run this program, this error reads:

BLANK.rb:22: undefined method `[]=' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from BLANK.rb:7:in `each'
from BLANK.rb:7


Why is this? And how do I fix it??

Thanks in advance!!!!!

You're using a rather unconventional way of appending to an array,
i.e. ary[ary.size] = value. This works in the general case. Where it
doesn't work is in your code where you say, effectively, ary[ary.size]
[0] = value. The problem is that ary[ary.size] is returning nil.
