Run Ruby block for each item of array passed as an argument

Question

Struggling with this simple task. Not an expert at Ruby:

  def self.send_mass_sms(*number, message)
    *number.each do |n|
      @client.messages.create(
        from: ENV['TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER'],
        to: "+370#{n}",
        body: "#{message}"
      )
    end 
  end

number is string[] - ["657765", "765475"]

Error:

syntax error, unexpected '\n', expecting &. or :: or '[' or '.'

"**Struggling** with this **simple** task."---looks self-contradictory. — sawa, Oct 30 '17 at 17:17
Try to understand when to use `*numbers` and `numbers`. Follow the link - https://stackoverflow.com/a/918479/787980 — Pramod Solanky, Oct 30 '17 at 17:30
@sawa - self-contradictory is also when people comes here to help, but doesn't do that.. — , Oct 30 '17 at 19:17

Try removing * sign

def self.send_mass_sms(*number, message)
  number.each do |n|
    @client.messages.create(
      from: ENV['TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER'],
      to: "+370#{n}",
      body: "#{message}"
    )
  end
end
