Ruby style question : blocks or inheritance?

Question

I have some classes that will do something based on some conditions . The conditions are sent as parameters to some methods . My questions is related to ruby coding style :

• should the conditions be sent as lambdas/blocks , or as some objects that inherit from a condition class ?

• which is more efficient in terms of OOP ?

Thanks !

Answer 1

I don't know which is more efficient from an execution time perspective, but blocks are more efficient from a user interface perspective. The person using your method just writes the condition in a block instead of having to define a whole new class, create an instance, and pass it to your method.
