newbie problem

Im not getting the output I expect. In the tutorial I am doing. It is suppose to just write the values to the browser.

Which would write *a,b,c *to the browser and shouldn't also be showing the array brackets or double quotes.

Ah, okay. The solution has been shown.

Meanwhile, it sounds like this tutorial actually has you delve into Ruby itself rather than only playing on the surface with Rails. I would suggest that you take a sidetrack and try a Ruby-only tutorial before you progress much further with the Rails one.

(Actually I suggest that ALL Rails people bother to actually learn Ruby, so they'll have much more of a clue what's going on under the hood and how to make it sit up and do neat tricks. But in your case, it seems like you're hitting real-Ruby questions already, while many Rails tutorials don't expose much of that.)
