  if "numbers" = 3

  end
end

Since "numbers" is the array, in your loop; you need to use push

numbers.push(number)

Then add 1 to number

number + 1

In you "If" statement, you need to set a length limit to your array

if numbers.length >= 3

Make those changes, and it will pass

Hi Simon,

You have a few things going on that are causing this challenge to fail - here are some hints to fix the issues:

1) In the challenge "number" and "numbers" are variables so you don't need to use quotation marks in your code.

2) Remember that "=" is an assignment operator, what you want to use for comparisons is "==".

3) Since "numbers" is an array you need to use a method to push values to it. https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.0/Array.html#method-i-push

4) In the problem you need to see when the length of numbers is == 3. This is another method for the Array class.

I hope that helps!
