You can create an array with a range using splat    gt  gt  a   1  10    gt   1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10    using Kernel Array method   Array  1  10    gt   1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10    or using to a   1  10  to a   gt   1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10

This works for me in irb   irb gt   1  4  to a   gt   1  2  3  4    I notice that   irb gt  1  4 to a  irb  1  warning  default  to a  will be obsolete ArgumentError  bad value for range         from  irb  1   So perhaps you are missing the parentheses     I am running Ruby 1 8 6 patchlevel 114

I just tried to use ranges from bigger to smaller amount and got the result I didn t expect   irb main  007 0 gt  Array 1  5    gt   1  2  3  4  5  irb main  008 0 gt  Array 5  1    gt       That s because of ranges implementations  So I had to use the following option    1  5  to a reverse
