[Newbies] Code not working

[Eduardo Ochs]

Hi Igor,

I have the impression that you ran some code that is not shown in the
screenshot and that that code changed your a to #(0 0 0 0), i.e.:

  { 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 }

Try this:

  a := { 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 }.
  a at: 5.

  a := { 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 }.
  a at: 5.

Btw, have you tried the "Terse Guide to Squeak"? You can access it
with:

  Help -> Terse Guide to Squeak

or by running this in a workspace:

  HelpBrowser openOn: TerseGuideHelp.

It runs in a "HelpBrowser", and note that the window in which it
displays each topic is almost a "mini-workspace" in this sense,

  http://anggtwu.net/SQUEAK/squeak-by-example-5.3.pdf

but it doesn't support local variables. I am beginner too, but a few
days ago I asked lots of questions about how these local variables
work, and I learned how to create Help Browsers that support local
variables... the main ideas are in this thread:
