design patterns - Is there a Ruby-Way™ to handle this kind of loop? -
i trying print section titles grouped elements in flat array. section title appear once per group.
the example below works, feels pretty inelegant ruby. i'm there must better way ;)
#!/usr/bin/ruby foo = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3] = 0; f = foo[i] comp = f while(i < foo.count) puts "section #{f}"; while(f == comp) puts f += 1 f = foo[i] end comp = f end
desired output
section 1 1 1 1 1 section 2 2 2 2 section 3 3 3
i hoping there kind of array#current
or array#next
instance methods, looks ruby array objects don't keep internal iterator.
foo.group_by{|e| e }.each |header, group| puts "section #{header}" puts group.join("\n") end
