This bothers me a little bit, because quite a few of your "gotchas" are =
about how ruby is ruby. For example, puts 'hi' if 0 is unexpected if =
you're a C programmer., but not if you're a smalltalker! But it's Ruby, =
not C or smalltalk!
Also, your slide 20 is about a closure, not a loop. This isn't a loop. =
An Enumerator/Iterator construction is not a loop! You can *think* of =
them as loops if you like, but an Enumerator is a class that can execute =
a closure/block many times, passing in different arguments sometimes. =
Point in case:
>> (1..4).map
=3D> #<Enumerator: 1..4:map>
>> e =3D _
=3D> #<Enumerator: 1..4:map>
>> e.next
=3D> 1
>> e.next
=3D> 2
>> e.next
=3D> 3
The Enumerator doesn't "close over" any local variables in the scope of =
its block... that would make no sense. If that were the case, it =
wouldn't be a closure anymore, it'd just be code in the main body. If =
you need variables that stick around, set the variable outside of the =
lexical scope of the closure, then it'll stick around.
Variables aren't "re-un-defined"! (*what* a verbal construction!), they =
merely fall out of scope when the closure finishes execution each time, =
so they don't exist anymore. If you're going to do some educating, it'd =
be good if you made sure the NEW information you are propagating is as =
correct as possible.
>> l =3D lambda{|val| val + 5}
=3D> #<Proc:0x007fb5bc9dfcf0@(irb):1 (lambda)>
>> (1..4).map(&l)
=3D> [6, 7, 8, 9]
It seems you know all this, but it'd be nice if you put it into your =
slides :)
Otherwise, nice work!
