Ruby - Convert Integer to String

Question

In Ruby, trying to print out the individual elements of a String is giving me trouble. Instead of seeing each character, I\'m seeing their ASCII values instead:

<         


        

Answer 1

I think each_char or chars describes better what you want.

irb(main):001:0> a = "0123"
=> "0123"
irb(main):002:0> Array(a.each_char)
=> ["0", "1", "2", "3"]
irb(main):003:0> puts Array(a.each_char)
0
1
2
3
=> nil
