What is the memory limit for SoloLearn in ruby?

Question

how many elements long can an array be?

Answer 1

Just curious why you need it?

Answer 2

I thought it was absurdly low, but i realize now i was blundering. I was trying to create an array of 64 elements. That is easily done in SoloLearn. I posted this question because I thought SoloLearn was stopping me but it was just my syntax!

Answer 3

I am a newbie with Ruby but I tried to write a simple code to see if it would give me a hint. And I basically manually changed the number of elements to be allocated. I found out that approximately 591000 elements can be pre-allocated, after which the memory limit error is displayed.

NOTE: The missing piece of information is how much memory is allocated per item in the Array.

So here is the code
-----------
size = 591000

arr = Array.new(size)
puts "Array Length = #{arr.size}"
