Ruby operations on enumerables

 
# Arrays, ranges, hashes are instances of Enumrable class

# some useful methods

mixed = [2.3, "hi", 1, 5]
ints = [1, 4, 6, -9, 0]
digits = 0..9
hash1 = {:winter => 'skiing', :spring => 'basketball',
  :summer => 'swimming', :fall => 'hiking'}

# find (or detect), select = find_all
puts ints.find {|x| x < 5}
puts ints.select {|x| x < 5}
puts mixed.find {|x| x < 5}
#puts mixed.select {|x| x < 5}
# returns an array even if the given class is a range or a hash
puts digits.select {|x| x < 5}.class

# map method
puts ints.map {|y| y < 5}
puts mixed.map {|y| y.to_s}
puts hash1.map {|y| "I love #{y}!"} # not quite what we want...

puts digits.inject(0) {|sum, n| sum + n }
puts (1..6).inject(1) {|prod, n| prod * n }
