One of the many reasons I love working with Ruby is it has a rich vocabulary that allows you to accomplish your goals with a minimal amount of code. If there isn't a method that does exactly what you want, it's usually possible to build an elegant solution yourself.
Let's take the example of simulating the rolling of a die.
We can represent a die as an array of its faces.
die = [*?⚀..?⚅]
# => ["⚀", "⚁", "⚂", "⚃", "⚄", "⚅"]
| #include <assert.h> | |
| #include <stddef.h> | |
| #include <stdio.h> | |
| #define var __auto_type | |
| #define let __auto_type const | |
| static inline void * variant_cast(void * variant_ptr, ptrdiff_t desired_tag) { | |
| ptrdiff_t * variant_tag = (ptrdiff_t *)variant_ptr; | |
| assert(*variant_tag == desired_tag); |
| # Applies functions in `fs` in order whose input starts with `iv` and | |
| # each function's output is fed into the next function in the chain. | |
| # Should any function return `None`, the chain is broken, execution | |
| # stops and `None` is returned. | |
| def chain(iv, *fs): | |
| v = iv | |
| for f in fs: | |
| v = f(v) | |
| if v is None: | |
| break |
