Write a Ruby program to check whether one of the first 5 elements in a given array of integers is a 7. The array length may be less than 5.

Ruby Code:

def array_count(array)
    ctr = 0
    array.each{|item| ctr += 1 unless item != 7}
    return ctr
end

print array_count([1, 2, 6, 4, 9]),"\n"
print array_count([1, 2, 5, 7, 9]),"\n"
print array_count([0, 2, 5, 7])
