Send method to each object in Array

Question

I want to send an method to each object in an Array. I know I can do something like this

array = ...
array.each { |obj| obj.some_method }

But is there a method where I can do something like the following?

array = ...
array.send_each :some_method

Use Symbol#to_proc:

array.each(&:some_method)

Which is shorthand for array.each{ |object| object.some_method }. Use that version if you need to pass parameters to the method.

@Thilo That's pretty redundant, given that's the exact code posted in the question... Also not correct. It's short-hand for array.each(&Proc.new { |x| x.some_method }).
