Define an array of strings is with the %w notation.





# It assumes that all elements are strings (even nil)





months = %w[ nil January February March April May June July August September

October November December ]



# This produces the array months:

# ["nil", "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August",

#  "September", "October", "November", "December"]
