Complete ruby noob.

I have a value which I want to check against several numbers (1,4,7) and if it equals any of them, return false.

right now I’m using:

if $my_variable_class[1] != 1 && $my_variable_class[1] != 4 && $my_variable_class[1] != 7  

I’ve got a shit-ton of numbers to check for inequality against. Is there a more efficient way to handle this?

    Maybe unless [1,4,7].include?($my_variable[1]) will do the trick?
