Last update on June 06 2025 12:48:04 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Ruby program to iterate over the first n elements of a given array.

Ruby Code:

arra1 = ['abcde', 'abdf', 'adeab', 'abdgse', 'bdefa', 'bacdef']
print "Original array:\n"
print arra1
arra2 = arra1.first(3)
print "\nFirst 3 elements:\n"
print arra2

Output:

Original array:
["abcde", "abdf", "adeab", "abdgse", "bdefa", "bacdef"]
First 3 elements:
["abcde", "abdf", "adeab"]
