How to change step value inside the loop?

Question

I want to increase my step value in each loop iteration, but my solution is not working.

n=1
(0..100).step(n) do |x|
 puts x
 n+=1 
end

Is there any way to change "n" or I'm must using "while loop" or smth else?

Answer 1

I assuming you are trying to print 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21 etc.

step documentation says:

Iterates over range, passing each nth element to the block. If the range contains numbers, n is added for each iteration.

So what you are trying to do can't be done with step. A while or traditional for loop should do the trick.
