Thanks Eric!
however, it appears when you capture the return value b by using the 
name of the method it comes from, you only get the last value of the 
array and not the array itself.

the method 'counter' returns the array:
1.5  2
3.0  3
4.5  4
6.0  5
7.5  6
9.0  7

and I want to take array 'b' which is:
1.5
3.0
4.5
6.0
7.5
9.0

and do stuff with it, maybe even just print it out alone by calling the 
second method 'counter2'. My goal here is to learn how to take only one 
of the arrays from a method and use it in another.
