How to Initialize an Array on Ruby

Do you know how to initialize an Array of a specific len with the same value in each element, something like [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], to be honest I didn't know.

I ended up with a code like this

arr = []
5.times.each{|i| arr << 0}

It does the work, but I just don't like it, too much code for a simple task. There should be a better way... and there is

What I didn't know is that the Array constructor take two parameters, the first one is the size, and the second one is the default object for the elements. So I can rewrite my code to

```ruby
arr = Array.new(5, 0) # [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
# You can pass any object, an string by example
arr = Array.new(5, 'N/A') # ["N/A", "N/A", "N/A", "N/A", "N/A"]
```

Array constructors also receive a block, but that is another history
