module Enumerable(T)

Returns true if the passed block returns a value other than false or nil for all elements of the collection.

["ant", "bear", "cat"].all? { |word| word.size >= 3 } # => true
["ant", "bear", "cat"].all? { |word| word.size >= 4 } # => false

Returns true if none of the elements of the collection is false or nil.

[nil, true, 99].all? # => false
[15].all?            # => true

Returns true if the passed block returns a value other than false or nil for at least one element of the collection.

["ant", "bear", "cat"].any? { |word| word.size >= 4 } # => true
["ant", "bear", "cat"].any? { |word| word.size > 4 }  # => false

Returns true if at least one of the collection members is not false or nil.

[nil, true, 99].any? # => true
[nil, false].any?    # => false

Enumerates over the items, chunking them together based on the return value of the block.

Consecutive elements which return the same block value are chunked together.

For example, consecutive even numbers and odd numbers can be chunked as follows.

ary = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5].chunks { |n| n.even? }
ary # => [{false, [3, 1]}, {true, [4]}, {false, [1, 5, 9]}, {true, [2, 6]}, {false, [5, 3, 5]}]

The following key values have special meaning:

• Enumerable::Chunk::Drop specifies that the elements should be dropped
• Enumerable::Chunk::Alone specifies that the element should be chunked by itself

See also: Iterator#chunk.

Returns an Array with the results of running the block against each element of the collection, removing nil values.

["Alice", "Bob"].map { |name| name.match(/^A./) }         # => [#<Regex::MatchData "Al">, nil]
["Alice", "Bob"].compact_map { |name| name.match(/^A./) } # => [#<Regex::MatchData "Al">]

Returns the number of elements in the collection for which the passed block returns true.

[1, 2, 3, 4].count { |i| i % 2 == 0 } # => 2

Returns the number of times that the passed item is present in the collection.

[1, 2, 3, 4].count(3) # => 1

Calls the given block for each element in this enumerable n times.

Calls the given block for each element in this enumerable forever.

Must yield this collection's elements to the block.

Iterates over the collection yielding chunks of size count, but advancing one by one.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].each_cons(2) do |cons|
  puts cons
end

Prints:

[1, 2]
[2, 3]
[3, 4]
[4, 5]

By default, a new array is created and yielded for each consecutive slice of elements.

• If reuse is given, the array can be reused
• If reuse is an Array, this array will be reused
• If reuse is truthy, the method will create a new array and reuse it.

This can be used to prevent many memory allocations when each slice of interest is to be used in a read-only fashion.

Iterates over the collection in slices of size count, and runs the block for each of those.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].each_slice(2) do |slice|
  puts slice
end

Prints:

[1, 2]
[3, 4]
[5]

Note that the last one can be smaller.

By default, a new array is created and yielded for each slice.

• If reuse is given, the array can be reused
• If reuse is an Array, this array will be reused
• If reuse is truthy, the method will create a new array and reuse it.

This can be used to prevent many memory allocations when each slice of interest is to be used in a read-only fashion.

Iterates over the collection, yielding both the elements and their index.

["Alice", "Bob"].each_with_index do |user, i|
  puts "User ##{i}: #{user}"
end

Prints:

User # 0: Alice
User # 1: Bob

Accepts an optional offset parameter, which tells it to start counting from there. So, a more human friendly version of the previous snippet would be:

["Alice", "Bob"].each_with_index(1) do |user, i|
  puts "User ##{i}: #{user}"
end

Which would print:

User # 1: Alice
User # 2: Bob

Iterates over the collection, passing each element and the initial object obj. Returns that object.

hash = ["Alice", "Bob"].each_with_object({} of String => Int32) do |user, sizes|
  sizes[user] = user.size
end
hash # => {"Alice" => 5, "Bob" => 3}

Returns the first element in the collection for which the passed block is true.

Accepts an optional parameter if_none, to set what gets returned if no element is found (defaults to nil).

[1, 2, 3, 4].find { |i| i > 2 }     # => 3
[1, 2, 3, 4].find { |i| i > 8 }     # => nil
[1, 2, 3, 4].find(-1) { |i| i > 8 } # => -1

Returns an Array with the first count elements in the collection.

If count is bigger than the number of elements in the collection, returns as many as possible. This include the case of calling it over an empty collection, in which case it returns an empty array.

Returns the first element in the collection. Raises Enumerable::EmptyError if the collection is empty.

Returns the first element in the collection. When the collection is empty, returns nil.

Returns a new array with the concatenated results of running the block (which is expected to return arrays) once for every element in the collection.

array = ["Alice", "Bob"].flat_map do |user|
  user.chars
end
array # => ['A', 'l', 'i', 'c', 'e', 'B', 'o', 'b']

Returns an Array with all the elements in the collection that match the RegExp pattern.

["Alice", "Bob"].grep(/^A/) # => ["Alice"]

Returns a Hash whose keys are each different value that the passed block returned when run for each element in the collection, and which values are an Array of the elements for which the block returned that value.

["Alice", "Bob", "Ary"].group_by { |name| name.size } # => {5 => ["Alice"], 3 => ["Bob", "Ary"]}

Returns an Array with chunks in the given size, eventually filled up with given value or nil.

[1, 2, 3].in_groups_of(2, 0) # => [[1, 2], [3, 0]]
[1, 2, 3].in_groups_of(2)    # => [[1, 2], [3, nil]]

Yields a block with the chunks in the given size.

[1, 2, 4].in_groups_of(2, 0) { |e| p e.sum }
# => 3
# => 4

By default, a new array is created and yielded for each group.

• If reuse is given, the array can be reused
• If reuse is an Array, this array will be reused
• If reuse is truthy, the method will create a new array and reuse it.

This can be used to prevent many memory allocations when each slice of interest is to be used in a read-only fashion.

Returns true if the collection contains obj, false otherwise.

[1, 2, 3].includes?(2) # => true
[1, 2, 3].includes?(5) # => false

Returns the index of the first element for which the passed block returns true.

["Alice", "Bob"].index { |name| name.size < 4 } # => 1 (Bob's index)

Returns nil if the block didn't return true for any element.

Returns the index of the object obj in the collection.

["Alice", "Bob"].index("Alice") # => 0

Returns nil if obj is not in the collection.

Converts an Enumerable to a Hash by using the value returned by the block as the hash key. Be aware, if two elements return the same value as a key one will override the other. If you want to keep all values, then you should probably use #group_by instead.

["Anna", "Ary", "Alice"].index_by { |e| e.size }
# => {4 => "Anna", 3 => "Ary", 5 => "Alice"}
["Anna", "Ary", "Alice", "Bob"].index_by { |e| e.size }
# => {4 => "Anna", 3 => "Bob", 5 => "Alice"}

Prints to io all the elements in the collection, separated by separator.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].join(", ", STDOUT)

Prints:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Returns a String created by concatenating the elements in the collection, separated by separator (defaults to none).

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].join(", ") # => "1, 2, 3, 4, 5"

Prints to io the concatenation of the elements, with the possibility of controlling how the printing is done via a block.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].join(", ", STDOUT) { |i, io| io << "(#{i})" }

Prints:

(1), (2), (3), (4), (5)

Returns a String created by concatenating the results of passing the elements in the collection to the passed block, separated by separator (defaults to none).

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].join(", ") { |i| -i } # => "-1, -2, -3, -4, -5"

Returns an Array with the results of running the block against each element of the collection.

[1, 2, 3].map { |i| i * 10 } # => [10, 20, 30]

Like #map, but the block gets passed both the element and its index.

["Alice", "Bob"].map_with_index { |name, i| "User ##{i}: #{name}" }
# => ["User #0: Alice", "User #1: Bob"]

Returns the element with the maximum value in the collection.

It compares using > so it will work for any type that supports that method.

[1, 2, 3].max        # => 3
["Alice", "Bob"].max # => "Bob"

Raises Enumerable::EmptyError if the collection is empty.

Like #max but returns nil if the collection is empty.

Returns the element for which the passed block returns with the maximum value.

It compares using > so the block must return a type that supports that method

["Alice", "Bob"].max_by { |name| name.size } # => "Alice"

Raises Enumerable::EmptyError if the collection is empty.

Like #max_by but returns nil if the collection is empty.

["Alice", "Bob"].min # => "Alice"

Raises Enumerable::EmptyError if the collection is empty.

Like #min but returns nil if the collection is empty.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].product # => 720

If the collection is empty, returns 1.

([] of Int32).product # => 1

Multiplies initial and all the elements in the collection together. The type of initial will be the type of the product, so use this if (for instance) you need to specify a large enough type to avoid overflow.

Only collections of numbers (objects that can be multiplied via a * method) are supported.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].product(7) # => 5040

If the collection is empty, returns initial.

([] of Int32).product(7) # => 7

Combines all elements in the collection by applying a binary operation, specified by a block, so as to reduce them to a single value.

For each element in the collection the block is passed an accumulator value (memo) and the element. The result becomes the new value for memo. At the end of the iteration, the final value of memo is the return value for the method. The initial value for the accumulator is the first element in the collection.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].reduce { |acc, i| acc + i } # => 15

Just like the other variant, but you can set the initial value of the accumulator.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].reduce(10) { |acc, i| acc + i } # => 25

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].skip(3) # => [4, 5, 6]

Skips elements up to, but not including, the first element for which the block returns nil or false and returns an Array containing the remaining elements.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0].skip_while { |i| i < 3 } # => [3, 4, 5, 0]

Adds initial and all the elements in the collection together. The type of initial will be the type of the sum, so use this if (for instance) you need to specify a large enough type to avoid overflow.

Only collections of numbers (objects that can be added via an + method) are supported.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].sum(7) # => 28

If the collection is empty, returns initial.

Returns an Array with all the elements in the collection.

(1..5).to_a # => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Creates a Hash out of an Enumerable where each element is a 2 element structure (for instance a Tuple or an Array).

[[:a, :b], [:c, :d]].to_h        # => {:a => :b, :c => :d}
Tuple.new({:a, 1}, {:c, 2}).to_h # => {:a => 1, :c => 2}
