Any array can be quickly decomposed by assigning its elements into multiple variables. A simple example: arr = [1, 2, 3] # --- a = arr[0] b = arr[1] c = arr[2] # --- or, the same a, b, c = arr Preceding a variable with the splat operator (*) puts into it an array of all the elements that h...

Globbing characters keep their usual meanings, so .* refers to a literal dot, followed by any sequence of characters; it's ...

Consider this broken snippet: def foo bar = [1, 2, 3, 4].map do |x| return 0 if x.even? x end puts 'baz' bar end foo # => 0 One might expect return to yield a value for map's array of block results. So the return value of foo would be [1, 0, 3, 0]. Instead, return retu...
