Question

I have the following problem:

1. There is an array that consists of 6 numbers, each two digits at maximum.
2. Y is an array whose i th element is the sum of the first i +1 elements of the first array.
3. Accept a numerical input via keyboard. If it matches one of the numbers in Y display a message; If not, restart the program.

This is the algorithm that I am thinking:

• Initialize empty array [x] & [y]
• 6.times.map{ Random.rand(1..99) }
• Add numbers using each do?
• Store in array [y ]
• Compare input to == array [y]
• If any instance matches display msg else restart

I would be really grateful for any guidance or help with this problem.

Answer 1

loop do
  x = Array.new(6){rand(99)}
  y = []
  x.each{|k| y.push(k + y.last.to_i)}
  y.shift
  break if y.include?(gets.to_i)
end
puts 'message'
