Hi all,
Finding myself utterly confused by the various approaches Ruby has to
blocks of code, I did some research which resulted in an article:
"Understanding Ruby blocks, Procs and methods" which I posted here:
http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2006/04/18/understanding-ruby-blocks-procs-and-methods/
It is aimed mostly to newcomers to Ruby, especially programmers coming
from other languages like Perl and Lisp.
I hope it will be useful, and will gladly fix any mistakes - so feel
free to comment.
Eli
P.S: I posted this on both the comp.lang.ruby group and the Ruby
mailing list (via ruby-forum) because the gateway between the two seems
to be down
P.P.S: I'll be glad to post the article on one of the Ruby Wikis, if
there's demand for that, just tell me to which one and how to post
there.
