monthnames.rb

This Ruby code snippet demonstrates how to use the Date class to retrieve an array of all the month names in a specific language. The MONTHNAMES method returns an array of strings, where each string represents a short name for a month (e.g., “Jan”, “Feb”, etc.).

Here’s an example usage:

require 'date'

# Get an array of all the month names in English
english_month_names = Date::MONTHNAMES

# Print each month name to the console
english_month_names.each do |name|
  puts name
end

In this example, the Date class is required using the require keyword, and then the MONTHNAMES method is called on the Date class to get an array of all the month names in English. The resulting array is then iterated over using the each method to print each month name to the console.

Note that this code snippet uses the puts method to print each month name to the console, which will display the output as a series of lines. If you prefer to have the output displayed in a single line, you can use the print or p methods instead. For example:

require 'date'

# Get an array of all the month names in English
english_month_names = Date::MONTHNAMES

# Print each month name to the console using print()
english_month_names.each do |name|
  print name + " "
end

This will display the output as a single line, with each month name separated by a space.
