The first thing that really surprised me today was the flexibility of Ruby's shovel operator, <<. A student in the class had tried the following:

a = [0]
a << a

What do you think a is now? I was sure it would be [0, [0]]. But lo and behold, Ruby sparkles;

a = [0]
a << a

In class definitions,

attr_accessor :name, :email, :phone_number

is the same as

attr_reader :name, :email, :phone_number

def fibonacci(n)
  if (0..1) === n
    n
  else
    fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)
  end
end

def prime_list(highest)
  list = Array.new(highest, true)
