In the given code, fibonacci.sum
is a method call where fibonacci
is an instance of a class that has a sum
method defined.
The sum
method takes a block as an argument. In Ruby, a block is a piece of code that can be passed to a method and executed within that method's context. It is defined using { }
or do ... end
keywords.
In this particular example, the block {| number | number * number }
is passed to the sum
method. This block is used to define the logic for calculating the sum of the elements in the Fibonacci sequence.
The block takes an argument number
and calculates the square of that number (number * number
). The sum
method then applies this block of code to each element in the Fibonacci sequence and returns the sum of the results.
So, the given code calculates the sum of the squares of the elements in the Fibonacci sequence.
