Defined in:
lib/source/ruby.rb

Overview

Proc objects are blocks of code that have been bound to a set of local variables. Once bound, the code may be called in different contexts and still access those variables.

def gen_times(factor)
  return Proc.new {|n| n * factor }
end

times3 = gen_times(3)
times5 = gen_times(5)

times3.call(12)               #=> 36
times5.call(5)                #=> 25
times3.call(times5.call(4))   #=> 60

def ==
end

#[] ⇒ Object

call-seq:

prc.call(params, ...) -> obj
prc[params, ...]      -> obj

Invokes the block, setting the block’s parameters to the values in params using something close to method calling semantics.

Returns the value of the last expression evaluated in the block.

proc = Proc.new {|x| x * 100 }

proc[4]   #=> 400

#call ⇒ Object

call-seq:

prc.call(params, ...) -> obj
prc[params, ...]      -> obj

Invokes the block, setting the block’s parameters to the values in params using something close to method calling semantics.

Returns the value of the last expression evaluated in the block. See also Proc#yield.

proc = Proc.new {|x| x * 100 }

proc.call(4)    #=> 400

#to_proc ⇒ Object

call-seq:

proc.to_proc -> proc

Part of the protocol for converting objects to Proc objects. Instances of class Proc simply return themselves.
