Exercise Description

Leverage Ruby's Infinity library in order to build a method that generates a collection of string based integers of any size provided by the method argument.

Example

string_infinity_generator 10 # => ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"]
string_infinity_generator 2 # => ["1", "2"]
string_infinity_generator 20000 # => ["1", "2", ..., "20000"]

Real World Usage

Technically this particular coding exercise could be built by leveraging ranges, which is the common convention. However, there are times, especially when working with mathematical equations that you will discover the need to implement the concept of infinity.
