I am a computer science major, and we are just learning Ruby. I am very lost on this problem we are supposed to solve, mostly syntax issues. Here is what we are to do:
Write a method that takes an array of strings and a block and calls this block on each string. Recall that the keyword to call a block is yield. The syntax for the call is the following:
method(["blah", "Blah"]) {...}
Test the method by passing it a block that prints the result of applying reverse to each string. Print out the original array after the call. Test it again by passing a block that calls reverse!. Print out the original array. Observe the differences, explain them in comments.
I'm not sure how to do this problem at all. I'm especially new to block and yield.
def my_method(array, &block)
array.each{|a| yield a}
end
array = ["one", "two", "three"]
my_method(array) do |a|
puts a.reverse
end
#=> eno
#=> owt
#=> eerht
array
#=> ["one", "two", "three"]
my_method(array) do |a|
puts a.reverse!
end
#=> eno
#=> owt
#=> eerht
array
#=> ["eno", "owt", "eerht"]
