Method: Enumerable#each_by

Defined in:
lib/core/facets/enumerable/each_by.rb

#each_by(steps = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Iterate through slices. If slice steps is not given, the arity of the block is used.

x = []
[1,2,3,4].each_by{ |a,b| x << [a,b] }
x  #=> [ [1,2], [3,4] ]

x = []
[1,2,3,4,5,6].each_by(3){ |a| x << a }
x  #=> [ [1,2,3], [4,5,6] ]

This is just like each_slice, except that it will check the arity of the block. If each_slice ever suppots this this method can be deprecated.
