hi there, I'm trying to add objects onto the end of an array and I'm
getting a NoMethodError with the message "undefined method `push' for
Array:Class". This makes no sense to me as "push" should be defined for
an Array...?
Any help would be great, thanks!

Array#push is an _instance_ method of the Array class, you need to
invoke it on array objects.

It seems your code is something like
Array.push 'a'
This doesn't work because push is an instance method of the Array class, that
is: you need to call it on an individual array (an instance of class Array),
not on the Array class itself. This is how you should do it:
a = Array.new
a.push 'string'
or
[1,2,3].push 4
(the syntax [1,2,3] creates an array, instance of class Array, containing the
items 1, 2 and 3).
I hope this helps
