Block
定義
ruby
some_array.each { |value| puts value + 3 } sum = 0 other_array.each do |value| sum += value puts value / sum end
- A block is somewhat like the body of an anonymous method
- Block can take parameters
- Block 只有被 method 呼叫時才會起作用,如果 method 中有引數,block 出現在最後面
Block 中的變數
如果 block 的本地變數的名字和 block 之外但是在同樣 scope 裡面的 變數名字一樣,那他們兩個是一樣的。block 內變數的值會改變 block 外變數的值。
ruby
sum = 0 [1,2,3,4].each do |value| sum += value puts value / sum end puts sum # => 30
如果 block 中的變數只出現在 block 中,那麼它只是 block 中本地變數,無法在 block 之外被引用。
ruby
sum = 0 [1,2,3,4].each do |value| square = value * value sum += square end puts sum # => 30 puts square # undefined local variable or method `square` for main:Object <NameError>
Parameters to a block are always local to a block, even if they have the same name as locals in the surrounding scope.
ruby
value = "some shape" [1,2].each { |value| puts value } puts value # 1 # 2 # some shape
You can define a block-local variables by putting them after s semicolon in the block`s parameter list
ruby
square = "some shape" sum = 0 [1,2,3,4].each do |value; square| square = value * value sum += square end puts sum # 30 puts square # some shape
By making square block-local, values assigned inside the block will not affect the value of the variable with the same name in the outer scope.
Blocks for Transactions
You can use blocks to define a chunk of code that must be run under some kind of transnational control
ruby
class File def self.open_and_process(*args) f = File.open(*args) yield f f.close end end File.open_and_process("testfile","r") do |file| while line = file.gets puts line end end
Blocks Can Be Objects
You can convert a block into an object, store it in variables, pass it around, and then invoke its code later.
如果 method 的最後一個引數前面有 & 符號 (&action), 那麼當此 method 被呼叫時,Ruby 會找一個 code block, 這個 code block 被轉換成 class Proc 的一個物件。
ruby
class ProcExample def pass_in_block(&action) @stored_proc = action end def use_proc(parameter) @store_proc.call(parameter) end end eg = ProcExample.new eg.pass_in_block { |param| puts "The parameter is #{param}" } eg.use_proc(99) # => The parameter is 99
ruby
def create_block_object(&block) block end bo = create_block_object { |param| puts "You called me with #{param}" } bo.call 99 # => You called me with 99 bo.call "cat" # => You called me with cat
Ruby have two built-in methods that convert a block to an object: lambda and Proc.new
ruby
bo = lambda { |param| puts "You called me with #{param}" } bo.call 99 # => You called me with 99
Blocks Can Be Closures
Closure: Variables in the surrounding scope that are referenced in a block remain accessible accessible for the life of that block and the life on any Proc object created from that block.
ruby
def n_times(thing) lambda {|n| thing * n} end p1 = n_times(23) p1.call(3) #=> 69 p2.call(4) #=> 92 def power_proc_generator value = 1 lambda { value += value } end power_proc = power_proc_generator puts power_proc.call # 2 puts power_proc.call # 4
lambda 表示式的另一種簡寫方式
ruby
lambda { |params| ... } # 與下面的寫法等價 -> params { ... } # parmas 是可選的
ruby
proc1 = -> arg1, arg2 {puts "#{arg1} #{arg2}"} proc1.call "hello", "world" # => hello world proc2 = -> { "Hello World" } proc2.call # => Hello World
Block Parameter List
Blocks can take default values, splat args, keyword args and a block parameter
ruby
proc = -> a, *b, &block do puts "a = #{a.inspect}" puts "b = #{b.inspect}" block.call end proc.call(1,2,3,4) {puts "in block"} # a = 1 # b = [2,3,4] # in block
Iterator
定義
A Ruby iterator is simple a method that can invoke a block of code.
- Block 一般是跟著 method 出現的, 並且 block 中的程式碼不一定會執行
- 如果 method 中有
yield
, 那麼它的block 中的程式碼會被執行- Block 可以接收引數,和返回 value
ruby
def two_times yield yield end two_times { puts "Hello" } # Hello # Hello
ruby
def fib_up_to(max) i1, i2 = 1. 1 while i1 <= max yield i1 i1, i2 = i2, i1 + i2 end end fib_up_to(1000) { |f| print f, " " } # 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 987
- 上面程式碼中的 yield 之後的
i1
會作為 parameter 傳入到 block 中, 賦值給 block 的 argumentf
。 - Block 中可以有多個 arguments.
常見的 iterator
each
each is probable the simplest iterator – all it does is yield successive elements of its collection.
ruby
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9].each { |i| puts i } # 1 # 3 # 5 # 7 # 9
find
A blocl may also return a value to the method. The value of the last expression evaluated in the block is passed back to the method as the value of the yield.
ruby
class Array def find each do |value| return value if yield(value) end end end [1,3,4,7,9].find { |v| V*V > 30 } # => 7
collect (also known as map)
Which takes each element from the collection and passes it to the block. The results returned by the block are used to construct a new array
ruby
["H", "A", "L"].collect { |x| x.succ } # => ["I", "B", "M"]
inject
The inject method lets you accumulate a value across the members of a collection.
ruby
[1,3,5,7].inject { |sum, element| sum + element } # => 16 # sum = 1, element = 3 # sum = 4, element = 5 # sum = 9, element = 7 # sum = 16 [1,3,5,6].inject { |product, element| product*element } # => 105
If inject
is called with no parameter, it uses the first element of the collections as the initial value and starts the iteration with the second value.
上面程式碼的另一種簡便寫法:
ruby
[1,3,5,7].inject(:+) # => 16 [1,3,5,7]/inject(:*) # => 105
Iterator 和 I/O 系統的互動
Iterators 不僅僅能夠訪問 Array 和 Hash 中的資料, 和可以和 I/O 系統互動
ruby
f = File.open("testfile") f.each do |line| puts "The line is: #{line}" end f.close produces: The line is: This is line one The line is: This is line two The line is: This is line three
Parameter 和 Argument
目前,我的理解是 Parameter 是實際引數,而 Argument 是形式引數
