To access the first element of an array in Ruby, you can use indexing with square brackets and the index 0.
In this example,
numbers
with numeric values.numbers[0]
and store it in a variable named first_element
.numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
first_element = numbers[0]
puts 'First element:', first_element
First element: 10
In this example,
fruits
with string values.fruits[0]
and store it in a variable named first_fruit
.fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Date"]
first_fruit = fruits[0]
puts 'First fruit:', first_fruit
First fruit: Apple
