Method: Enumerator::Lazy#initialize

Defined in:

enumerator.c

#new(obj, size = nil) {|yielder, *values| ... } ⇒ Object

Creates a new Lazy enumerator. When the enumerator is actually enumerated (e.g. by calling #force), obj will be enumerated and each value passed to the given block. The block can yield values back using yielder. For example, to create a “filter+map” enumerator:

def filter_map(sequence)
  Lazy.new(sequence) do |yielder, *values|
    result = yield *values
    yielder << result if result
  end
end

filter_map(1..Float::INFINITY) {|i| i*i if i.even?}.first(5)
#=> [4, 16, 36, 64, 100]

Yields:

• (yielder, *values)
