I often find myself checking if some value belongs to some set. As I understand, people normally use Enumerable#member?
for this.
end_index = ['.', ','].member?(word[-1]) ? -3 : -2
However, this feels a little less elegant than most of things in Ruby. I'd rather write this code as
end_index = word[-1].is_in?('.', ',') ? -3 : -2
but I fail to find such method. Does it even exist? If not, any ideas as to why?
Not in ruby but in ActiveSupport:
characters = ["Konata", "Kagami", "Tsukasa"]
"Konata".in?(characters) # => true
You can easily define it along this line:
class Object
def is_in? set
set.include? self
end
end
and then use as
8.is_in? [0, 9, 15] # false
8.is_in? [0, 8, 15] # true
or define
class Object
def is_in? *set
set.include? self
end
end
and use as
8.is_in?(0, 9, 15) # false
8.is_in?(0, 8, 15) # true
