Say I have an array of arrays in Ruby,
array = [["bob", 12000, "broke", "ugly"],
["kelly", 50000, "rich", "attractive"]]
Each subarray is just a record. What's syntactically the most elegant construct for testing certain elements of each subarray for certain conditions, such as
Thanks!
Since you mentioned every element, the idiomatic way is to use all? enumerable. Like this:
array = [["bob", 12000, "broke", "ugly"],
["kelly", 50000, "rich", "attractive"]]
array.all? { |element|
# check whatever you would like to check
# check if zeroth element is String or not
element.first.is_a?(String) # this would mean that you are assuming element is a collection, since first generally works on a collection
}
Enumerable is a good place to start.
any? in the first sentence, but the code example uses all?.Try using all?:
all_match = array.all? {|inner_array|
inner_array[0].kind_of?(String) && inner_array[1].kind_of?(Fixnum)
}
