array.max in ruby displaying odd results

for x in 1..10
    print "Enter a number: "
    numbers << gets.chomp
end

print numbers.max

In my following code if I were to enter the numbers 1 through 10, this would display 9. If I were to enter the numbers 50 through 140 incrementing by 10s, it would display 90.

If I enter the numbers 1 through 11 not including 9, it'll display 8.

I'm having an extremely hard time wrapping my head around these results and I'm wondering if anyone can offer an explanation as to why this would be occurring?

Cheers

Never mind I figured this out all though it's my hope if people have this issue in the future they find this.

Remember to convert to int

for x in 1..10
    clear
    print "Enter a number: "
    numbers << gets.chomp.to_i
end

print numbers.max

This code above fixes it
