Keep Methods Small

No Negativity

You're the narrator. It's your job to guide clearly.

Stay Positive

Modus Ponens

If A then B
A
therefore B

If I get off of work early then I will go with you.

I got off of work early.

Therefore I will go with you.

Stay Positive

Modus Tollens

If A then B
Not B
therefore not A

If a stranger shows, the dog will bark.

The dog did not bark

Therefore a stranger did not show.

Stay Positive

    Array.new(5)
    => [nil, nil, nil, nil, nil]

    Array.new(5, 100)
    => [100, 100, 100, 100, 100]
    
    Array.new(5, rand(100))
    => [65, 65, 65, 65, 65]
    
    Array.new(5) { rand(100) }
    => [55, 69, 5, 68, 54]
