I'm trying to find the greatest prime number based on a max value...I just want this to print the largest prime number but I can't figure out how to break this loop after printing the first number.
require 'prime'
1000.downto(1) do |i|
while i.prime? do print i
end
end

i am not familiar with ruby but i guess it should work
1000.downto(1) do |i|
if i.prime? then
print i
break
end
end

How to change string a type value to complex number?
I need to perform arithmetic operations on complex numbers which are passed through command line arguments.
For example:
go run file.go 3-4i + 7+2i
Starting from Go 1.15, there is a ParseComplex function in the strconv package:

Isn't that out of order output
QAQ
this is my code
var i=map[int]int{
1:1,
2:2,
3:3,
}
for i2, i3 := range i {
fmt.Println(i2, i3)
}
and the output is
1 1
2 2
3 3
why?
Go maps do not guarantee iteration order. In fact, the order may change from one iteration to the other, and the order of insertion and type-specific value order is not relevant. More info here:

song = Song.new("ruby","Bicylops " ,260)
puts song.artist
Very simple.
You spelled initialize as initilaize.

I have:
str = "something"
str[0, 1] #=> "s"
str[0, 2] #=> "so"
str[3, 4] #=> "ethi"
str[2, 3] #=> "meth"
I can't see logic in this. What is returned by this double indexes?
str[2,3] is "met". In this form it is str[zero_based_start_position, number_of_characters]
See ruby documentation on String class

myhash = {answer: "yes", something: hello, another: "yes"}
myhash.delete[another]
I want to delete the another key-value pair. But, ruby gives me an error saying wrong number of arguments (0 for 1). What's going on?
the method delete is a method, not an element on the hash , and another key is a symbol, so you should call on this form
myhash.delete(:another)
