e.lazy รข lazy_enumerator
Instance Public methods
Returns a lazy enumerator, whose methods map/collect, flat_map/collect_concat, select/find_all, reject, grep, zip, take, #take_while, drop, and #drop_while enumerate values only on an as-needed basis. However, if a block is given to zip, values are enumerated immediately.
Example
The following program finds pythagorean triples:
def pythagorean_triples
(1..Float::INFINITY).lazy.flat_map {|z|
(1..z).flat_map {|x|
(x..z).select {|y|
x**2 + y**2 == z**2
}.map {|y|
[x, y, z]
}
}
}
end
# show first ten pythagorean triples
p pythagorean_triples.take(10).force # take is lazy, so force is needed
p pythagorean_triples.first(10) # first is eager
# show pythagorean triples less than 100
p pythagorean_triples.take_while { |*, z| z < 100 }.force
