    Let's define a hash h. h={"fish" => "Catfish", "dog" => "Terrier", "cat" => "Siamese"} Which for loop produces an error?

    • For animal in h puts animal end puts h['cat']

    • For animal, type in h puts "I love " + type + " " +animal +"s" end puts h['cat']

    • For count in h puts "I love " + type + " " +animal +"s" end puts h['cat']

    • For h in h puts h end

    • For h in h puts h end puts h['cat']

    Correct Answer
    A. For h in h puts h end puts h['cat']
    Explanation
    Correct answer is E, it produces an error "can't convert String into Integer". This happens because after for loop is executed, variable h is redefined as two dimensional array. So notation h['cat'] is not legal, since indices of an array can only be numerical.
