I need some guidance on this exercise as i do not understand the instruction nor do I know how to solve it.

my code comes as follow.

numbers = []

number = 0

write your loop here

loop do numbers.push(number) number += 1 if numbers.length > 3 break end end

loop.rb 
numbers = []

number = 0

# write your loop here
loop do
  numbers.push(number)
  number += 1
  if numbers.length > 3
    break
  end
end

Using the loop construct, add the current value of number to the numbers array. Inside of the loop, add 1 to the number variable. If the numbers array has more than 3 items, use the break keyword to exit the loop. this is the question.

You're close. Just change that 3 to a 2. So it should be:

loop do
  numbers.push(number)
  number += 1
  if numbers.length > 2
    break
  end
end

I just tested this and passed the challenge.
