Status changed from Assigned to Rejected Rejected. It would cause too much confusion than convenience. Matz. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4830: Provide Default Variables for Array#each and other iterators https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4830#change-69750 * Author: lazaridis.com (Lazaridis Ilias) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) * Target version: ---------------------------------------- for arrays: use "item" by default for hashes: use "key" and "value" by default names = ["Jane", "Michele", "Isabella"] names.each { |name| print name, "\n" } names.each { print item, "\n" } contact = {name:"Jane", phone:"1234567"} contact.each { |key, value| print key, ": ", value, "\n"} contact.each { print key, ": ", value, "\n"} - The benefits are: * more compact code (without loosing clarity of the code). * no repetitions ("names, name, name") in a one-liner with {} block This extension does not break any existent behaviour. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
