Overview:


There may be no better way to learn how to program than by dissecting real, representative code samples. Accordingly, Ruby by Example analyzes a series of Ruby scripts, examining how the code works, explaining the concepts it illustrates, and showing how to modify it to suit your needs. In this chapter download, focus on learning some key functional programming techniques in Ruby. Chapter coverage includes:

  • Creating Procs with lambda
  • Using Procs as arguments to methods
  • Using blocks as arguments to methods, including your own new methods
  • Using Procs as first-class functions
  • The inspect method
  • Nesting lambdas within other lambdas
  • Proc.new
  • The yield method
