# Steps to Reproduce In Ruby v2.2.2 1. Create a range of strings using 'foo1' up to 'foo9': ~~~ruby ('foo1'..'foo9').to_a => ["foo1", "foo2", "foo3", "foo4", "foo5", "foo6", "foo7", "foo8", "foo9"] ~~~ Observe the results are as we expect 2. 2 Create a range of strings using 'foo1' up to 'foo10' ~~~ruby ('foo1'..'foo10').to_a => ["foo1", "foo2","foo3","foo4","foo5", "foo6", "foo7", "foo8", "foo9", "fop0","fop1", "fop2", "fop3", "fop4", "fop5", "fop6", "fop7", "fop8", "fop9", "foq0", ....] ~~~ Also: ~~~ruby ('foo1'..'foo10').to_a.size => 4707939 ~~~ Observe that the output loops `1..9` 1..9 about 523104 times (arbitrarily?) # Expected Results The output in step 1 makes me expect for Ruby's range class to intelligently create ranges using a strings that include integers inside them. However this only seems to work for `1..9` 1..9 ranges. # Actual Results Inconsistent behavior for range creation.
