From: daniel@...42.com Date: 2020-08-27T13:59:41+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:99731] [Ruby master Feature#15573] Permit zero step in Numeric#step and Range#step Issue #15573 has been updated by Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme). What is the purpose of a zero step? I cannot understand why/how it would be used. ---------------------------------------- Feature #15573: Permit zero step in Numeric#step and Range#step https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15573#change-87224 * Author: mrkn (Kenta Murata) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: mrkn (Kenta Murata) ---------------------------------------- Numeric#step disallows zero in the 2nd argument, but it allows zero passed as the value of `by:` keyword argument. I confirmed that this inconsistency exists since 2.3. I want to allow zero in the 2nd argument, too. ``` >> 1.step(10, by: 0) { break } => nil >> 1.step(10, 0) { break } Traceback (most recent call last): 5: from /Users/mrkn/.rbenv/versions/2.6.0/bin/irb:23:in `

I want to relax also this restriction. ``` >> (1..10).step(0) { break } Traceback (most recent call last): 6: from /Users/mrkn/.rbenv/versions/2.6.0/bin/irb:23:in `
