Next, we’ll want to divide the user’s input into individual words.
Ruby has a built-in method for this called .split
; it takes in a string and returns an array. If we pass it a bit of text in parentheses, .split
will divide the string wherever it sees that bit of text, called a delimiter. For example,
text.split(",")
tells Ruby to split up the string text
whenever it sees a comma.
Instructions
1.
Declare a variable called words
and set it equal to the result of calling the .split
method on text
. Pass .split
a space (" "
) to use as a delimiter so that we get an array made up of the words from text
.
When running the code, be sure to enter text and words to redact in the console!
