and like this:
num1 = pyramid[level-1][i-1].to_i
num2 = pyramid[level-1][i].to_i
ans = num1+num2
pyramid_lvl[level][i] = [ans]
Both give me this error message:
undefined method `[]=' for 1:Fixnum (NoMethodError)
Am I getting this problem because I don't understand how arrays work
and it's simply a matter of operations, or am I having some serious
logical problem preventing correctness.

From the error, I would venture to guess (pretty sure) that pyramid_lvl[level] contains a number, not an array (as you seem to think). I couldn't say more without reading more code.

It's just what the error says: you're trying to call the method = on
the object 1 That means that pyramid_lvl[level] must be 1. So
when you do:
pyramid_lvl[level][i] = whatever
it's like you're doing:
1[i] = whatever
That's equivalent to a method call:
1=(i, whatever)
and 1 has no method called = so you get an error.
I can't tell you where in your code you assigned 1 to
pyramid_lvl[level], but that appears to be what's happening.
