Pig Latin, Error Code

Question

New to coding....It is giving me an error on the word “new”. I keep tweeking little things but I can not get it to run. I added notes just to make sure my thinking was correct. What am I missing?

user=gets.chomp
#split words into array of substrings
words=user.split("")
words.new = []

words.each do |word|
#take away one index
base = words.length - 1
#start at index 1 until (index -1) count ends, add first letter, add "ay"
words.new << (word[1..base] + word[0] + "ay")
end
puts words.new.join ("")

Answer 1

Joy Shadburn , the array initialization in your code is wrong. Either use for example words = [] or words = Array.new. At the end join the new words by whitespace. Look at the corrected code. Hope it helps you.
