The code you provided is using the chunk
method in Ruby to group consecutive elements in an array based on a condition. Here's how it works:
[3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5]
is the input array that we want to chunk..chunk { |n| n.even? }
is called on the array. It takes a block of code as an argument and evaluates it for each element in the array.n.even?
checks if each number n
in the array is even or not. If it is even, the chunk method considers it as a key to group elements. If it is odd, the chunk method creates a new group.chunk
method returns an enumerator that yields both the key and an array of grouped elements..each { |even, ary| p [even, ary] }
is then called on the enumerator returned by the chunk
method. It iterates over each chunk and prints the key (even
) and the array of grouped elements (ary
).The output of the code will be:
main.rb81 chars6 lines
In the output, each line represents a chunk where the first element is the condition (even
), and the second element is the array (ary
) containing the grouped elements based on the condition.
So, the code is chunking the array [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5]
into groups of consecutive even and odd numbers.
Please note that the code you provided is missing parentheses around the array, and it should be as follows:
main.rb91 chars2 lines
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
