Method: Enumerable#sum

Defined in:
activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/enumerable.rb,

#sum(identity = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Calculates a sum from the elements.

payments.sum { |p| p.price * p.tax_rate }
payments.sum(&:price)

The latter is a shortcut for:

payments.inject(0) { |sum, p| sum + p.price }

It can also calculate the sum without the use of a block.

[5, 15, 10].sum # => 30
['foo', 'bar'].sum # => "foobar"
[[1, 2], [3, 1, 5]].sum # => [1, 2, 3, 1, 5]

The default sum of an empty list is zero. You can override this default:

[].sum(Payment.new(0)) { |i| i.amount } # => Payment.new(0)
