[T] (T ele) -> [ T ]

Array(object) → object or new_array

static VALUE
rb_f_array(VALUE obj, VALUE arg)
{
    return rb_Array(arg);
}

Returns an array converted from object.

Tries to convert object to an array using to_ary first and to_a second:

Example

Array([0, 1, 2])        # => [0, 1, 2]
Array({foo: 0, bar: 1}) # => [[:foo, 0], [:bar, 1]]
Array(0..4)             # => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

Returns object in an array, [object], if object cannot be converted:

Example

Array(:foo)             # => [:foo]
