ruby on rails check if value exist in array always returns true

Question

I am trying to check if a set pset(aka problem set) exist in an array in order to display the correct page but the following code always returns true...

  def c
    allowed_psets = [1]
    pset_id = 12323

    if allowed_psets.include?(pset_id)
        //do something here
    else
        render_404//error
    end
  end

do i miss something here?

Answer 1

working code:

  def c

    allowed_psets = [
        1
    ]

    pset_id = params[:pset_id]

    if allowed_psets.include?(pset_id.to_i)
        #do something here
    else
        render_404#error
    end

  end
