About array multiplication

I have a stumbling block due to a ruby problem, so I will keep it as a record.

The following is a rough explanation of the problem. ・ Two numbers are entered as a character string ("a b") ・ I want to give a number that doubles each final

`Wrong answer`


num = gets.split.map(&:to_i)
puts num * 2

Split the value with the split method and put the string value in the array.
Create an array by converting the values of the array to numbers with `map (&: to_i)`. (Regarding ``` map (&: to_i)` ``, the following article is very easy to understand and I used it as a reference.) https://a-records.info/ruby-map-ampersand-colon-to_i/
Perform * 2 on the elements of the array.

The result is as follows.

num = gets.split.map(&:to_i)　//Enter 5 10
puts num * 2
Output result=>　5 10 5 10

I didn't understand why 5 10 was repeated twice even though I was converting to a number with @ map (&: to_i).

Conclusion

-Multiplication of an array creates a new array that repeats the same elements. The elements were repeated because we were doing * 2 on the array itself, not on each element. (I think that's the case if you review it after understanding it ...)

num = gets.split.map(&:to_i)
num.each {|n| puts n * 2}

It was solved by processing each element with `ʻeach``.
