From: Trans Date: 2009-06-15T04:29:52+09:00 Subject: each by arity I've always wondered, why? c = [] [1,2,3,4].each{ |x,y| c << [x, y] } c gives us [ [1,nil], [2,nil], [3,nil], [4,nil] ] why not allow it to look at the arity of the block? And thus produce [ [1,2], [3,4] ] I don't see how the former is ever of any use, but the later certainly is. am i missing something obvious? T.
