-## This is where it starts getting fun!

-play with them!

-## Strings
-### You've got this down!
-_String_s are something you already know about! Let's refresh your memory.
-Basically, Strings let you manipulate a bunch of characters. It's sort of like
-writing something down: and often, Strings are used for handling input and
-output. Check it out:
-    name = "Steve"
-    alert name
-This should be familliar. If it isn't you may want to go review the Basic Ruby
-lesson before moving on. Gotta learn the basics before you can understand the
-hard stuff!
-### Concatawhat?
-Here's a big word for you: __concatenation__. It's a mouthful, but luckily for
-you, it means something really simple:
-    first_name = "Steve"
-    last_name = "Klabnik"
-    alert first_name + last_name
-See what I mean by addition? The _+_ lets us __concatenate__ the two Strings
-together. The first name goes up front, and the last name goes in the back. Nice
-and easy.
-### Interpawho?
-Okay, since you did so well with that word, I'm going to throw another one at
-you, while you're still trying to recover: __interpolation__. It kinda means
-'put into.' See if this makes sense:
-    first_name = "Steve"
-    alert "The first name is #{first_name}".
-Whoah! What's up with that? Try running it, and see what it does.
-### They're like pincers
-Terrible analogy alert: See that { and its partner in crime, }? These two _curly
-braces_ are like the pincers of some strange species of crab. You can put
-whatever you want between them, and they hold your info in place in the middle
-of a string.
-Oh, and the # (a _hash_), is a funky hat the crab wears. Or something. I dunno.
-Point is, you need all three parts, #{} and something in the middle. And that's
-__interpolation__.

-# Beginner Data Structures
-## Hello there!
-### Let's get started
-Welcome to your first lesson about Data Structures!  Now that you know how to
-obtain data with Ruby you're also going to be able to store it in collections.
-Arrays and Hashes are two key classes in Ruby that are able to help with
-storing your data!  Let's get going!
-Click the icon like this (on the bottom of the screen) to get started:
-![Not this one! The one below!](/icon_button/arrow_right)
-### Lesson Controls
-Before we move on, Here's a refresher on the controls you can use to move around
-in the Lesson.

-__back__: goes back one page
-![](/icon_button/arrow_right)

-![](/icon_button/arrow_right)
-Have at it!
-### What are Arrays?
-An array can be thought of as a dresser where each drawer is a numbered spot.
-This  dresser is a collection of slots where one thing can be in each place.
-Arrays  are  used to store data like numbers, strings, or even other Arrays!
-Ruby makes it really easy  to create and store things inside of them.  Let's get
-going!
-### What can we do with them?
-    my_array = [1,2,"shoes"]
-Try typing this and press the Run button.
-You created an array with the numbers 1, 2, and the string 'shoes' in it.
-Things in the array can be gotten by typing the array's variable name
-(`my_array`) and square brackets (`[]`) with a number inside of the brackets.
-This number can be though of as the address to that spot in the array.  It's
-good to remember that arrays start at 0 in Ruby.
-    alert my_array[0]
-What thing in the array are you going to get back?  Type this in and press the
-'Run' button.
-### Arrays in action!
-When using Arrays we need to know a few things first.  Arrays in Ruby can expand
-to the size that you need them.  So if you wanted to put the string 'cat' at
-spot 99(which would be the 100th item in the array) we could put:
-    my_array[99] = "cat"
-If there is nothing in a spot you will have 'nil' filling it.
-If we wanted to print out everything in an array we could do something like
-this:
-    my_new_array = ["cat","dog","mouse"]
-Then we would put:
-    my_new_array.each {|animal| alert animal}
-Type this all in and press the 'Run' button.
-### Arrays in even more action!
-We've seen what we can do with arrays, but what other things can they do to help
-us?  What if we had an array of numbers and we wanted to sort it?  Try typing
-this this and running it:
-    num_array = [4,3,22,19,100,45]
-    alert num_array.sort
-That was really easy to sort it from lowest to highest!  What if we want it from
-highest to lowest though?  Type this in next and press the 'Run' button.
-    alert num_array.reverse
-The array class has so many methods that you can call upon it.  Take a look on
-the Ruby API: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Array.html
-## The Hash
-### What are Hashes?
-Now that we've gotten an introduction to Arrays we can also learn about Hashes!
-Hashes in other languages are sometimes called Dictionaries.  Well, what do they
-do?  Like in a dictionary you are able to look up a word or 'key' which
-corresponds to a 'value'.  You separate the key and value with a hashrocket
-(=>).  Just like Arrays you can access a certain key  by typing the hashes
-variable name and the key in square brackets ([]).    Let's try working with a
-hash!
-    my_hash = { "dog" => "puppy", "cat" => "kitten" }
-    alert my_hash["dog"]
-Try typing this all in and press the 'Run' button!
-### Working with Hashes
-So what else are we able to do with hashes?  Let's try something will help us
-see if something is in the hash as a key or value  The methods `has_key?` and
-`has_value?` are exactly what we're looking for!
-    new_hash = { "1" => "one", "2" => "two"}
-    alert new_hash.has_key?("1")
-    alert new_hash.has_value?("one")
-Try typing these in and press the 'Run' button for each of the methods!
-### Let's tie these Hashes and Arrays together!
-We've looked at two different data structures that are able to hold data for us
-and let us access certain parts of the collections.  Both Arrays and Hashes are
-commonly used by programmers and are great to  have knowledge about!  Both of
-these data structures have so many methods that can be read about in the  Ruby
-Documentation: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/.  Now with Arrays and Hashes you
-should be able to keep your data organized and usable!
