Understanding Ruby Blocks, Procs and Lambdas
Blocks, Procs and lambdas (referred to as closures
in Computer Science) are one of the most powerful aspects of Ruby, and
also one of the most misunderstood. This is probably because Ruby
handles closures in a rather unique way. Making things more complicated
is that Ruby has four different ways of using closures, each of which is
a tad bit different, and sometimes nonsensical. There are quite a few
sites with some very good information about how closures work within
Ruby. But I have yet to find a good, definitive guide out there.
Hopefully, this tutorial becomes just that.
First Up, Blocks
The most common, easiest and arguably most “Ruby like” way to use
closures in Ruby is with blocks. They have the following familiar
syntax:
array
=
[
1
,
2
,
3
,
4
]

array
.
collect!
do
|
n
|
n
**
2
end
puts
array
.
inspect
# => [1, 4, 9, 16]
So, what is going on here?
First, we send the collect!
method to an Array with a
block of code.
The code block interacts with a variable used within the collect!
method (n
in this case) and squares it.
Each element inside the array is now squared.
Using a block with the collect!
method is pretty easy,
we just have to think that collect!
will use the code
provided within the block on each element in the array. However, what
if we want to make our own collect!
method? What will it
look like? Well, lets build a method called iterate!
and
see.
class
Array
def
iterate!
self
.
each_with_index
do
|
n
,
i
|
self
[
i
]
=
yield
(
n
)
end
end
end
array
=
[
1
,
2
,
3
,
4
]
array
.
iterate!
do
|
n
|
n
**
2
end
puts
array
.
inspect
# => [1, 4, 9, 16]
To start off, we re-opened the Array class and put our iterate!
