index; straight forward: 0.upto(path.length - 2) do |index| A little weird but fair enough.0.upto(path.length-2) do |index| Yeah, that seems fine too.0.upto(path.length -2) do |index| Error:`length': wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 0) (ArgumentError)Not that I condone the latter's operator spacing, but the fact it means something different is insane.
