Overview

A Seq will cycle over a list returning a certain number of items.

Examples:

With number of items to return


s = Seq.new([1, 2], 4)
s.next #=> 1
s.next #=> 2
s.next #=> 1
s.next #=> 2
s.next #=> nil

With an offset


s = Seq.new([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 5, 3)
s.next #=> 4
s.next #=> 5
s.next #=> 1
# etc

With default value


s = Seq.new([1, 2], 2, 0, 2)
s.next #=> 1
s.next #=> 2
s.next #=> 2
s.next #=> 2

Constructor Details

#initialize(list = [], items = Float::INFINITY, offset = 0, default = nil) ⇒ Seq

Creates a new instance of Seq.

Parameters:

  • list (Array) (defaults to: []) —

    List of values to cycle over

  • items (Integer) (defaults to: Float::INFINITY) —

    Number of values to return

  • offset (Integer) (defaults to: 0) —

    Index of item in list to start at

  • default (Object) (defaults to: nil) —

    Value to return when finished cycling

def initialize(list=[], items=Float::INFINITY, offset=0, default=nil)
  @list    = list
  @items   = items
  @offset  = offset
  @default = default

  self.reset
end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(sym, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Any method called on a Seq with ending with !, will be caught by method missing, it will then attempt to call the non ! version but will not alter the index or number of cycles completed.

Instance Method Details

#each ⇒ Object

Iterates over each item as returned by #next until #ended?.

def each
  until ended?
    yield self.next
  end
end

#ended? ⇒ Boolean

Returns Whether the Seq has returned enough items.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    Whether the Seq has returned enough items.

def ended?
  @cycles >= @items
end

#entries ⇒ Array

Returns The items that would be returned by repeated calls to #next until #ended?.

Returns:

  • (Array) —

    The items that would be returned by repeated calls to #next until #ended?.

Raises:

  • (RangeError) —

    If #infinite?, otherwise it creates an infinite loop!

  i, c = @index, @cycles
  r = super
  @index, @cycles = i, c
  r
end

#inc ⇒ Integer

Increment the list index, the number of cycles completed and if at the end of the list returns to the first item.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    Number of items that have been returned.

end

#next ⇒ Object

Returns Until ended it returns the next item from the list, when ended it returns the default item.

Returns:

  • Until ended it returns the next item from the list, when ended it returns the default item.
