Ruby array each_slice_with_index?
20,135
Solution 1
Like most iterator methods, each_slice
returns an enumerable when called without a block since ruby 1.8.7+, which you can then call further enumerable methods on. So you can do:
arr.each_slice(2).with_index { |(a, b), i| puts "#{i} - #{a}, #{b}" }
Solution 2
arr.each_slice(2).with_index { |(*a), i| ...
also note that the array, first parameter of the block, can be *arr
Solution 3
In 1.9 a lot of methods return an enumerator if no block is provided. You can call another method on the enumerator.
arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
arr.each_with_index.each_slice(2){|(a,i), (b,j)| puts "#{i} - #{a}, #{b}"}
(Variation on @sepp2k). Result:
0 - 1, 2
2 - 3, 4
4 - 5, 6
6 - 7, 8

If I have
arr = [1, 2, 3, 4]
I know I can do the following...> arr.each_slice(2) { |a, b| puts "#{a}, #{b}" } 1, 2 3, 4
...And...
> arr.each_with_index { |x, i| puts "#{i} - #{x}" } 0 - 1 1 - 2 2 - 3 3 - 4
...But is there a built in way to do this?
> arr.each_slice_with_index(2) { |i, a, b| puts "#{i} - #{a}, #{b}" } 0 - 1, 2 2 - 3, 4
I know I can built my own and stick it into the array method. Just looking to see if there is a built in function to do this.

Drew almost 13 yearsVery cool! Just to complete my original issue, I would need to do #{i*2} to get the index in the original arr and not the index in the sliced enumerable.
