Converting between strings and symbols is a snap.

:sasquatch.to_s
# ==> "sasquatch"

"sasquatch".to_sym
# ==> :sasquatch

The .to_s and .to_sym methods are what you’re looking for!

We have an array of strings we’d like to later use as hash keys, but we’d rather they be symbols.

Create a new variable, symbols, and store an empty array in it.
Use .each to iterate over the strings array.
For each s in strings, use .to_sym to convert s to a symbol and use .push to add that new symbol to symbols.
Print the symbols array.

Check the hint for a more information on how to use .each and .push.
