How do I know what iteration I'm in when using the Integer.times method?

Question

Let's say I have

some_value = 23

I use the Integer's times method to loop.

Inside the iteration, is there an easy way, without keeping a counter, to see what iteration the loop is currently in?

Solution

Yes, just have your block accept an argument:

some_value.times{ |index| puts index }
#=> 0
#=> 1
#=> 2
#=> ...

or

some_value.times do |index|
  puts index
end
#=> 0
#=> 1
#=> 2
#=> ...
