Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

the assignment of the variable should look more like this:

a = [“234”,“456”,“raju”]

because otherwise raju is a variable, which wouldn’t allow you to append
91
to the beginning of it.

Try this then:

array.collect! do |element|
“91” + element.to_s
end

And the short form

a = [“123”, “456”, “raju”]
a.map!{|x|“91#{x}”} # => [“91123”, “91456”, “91raju”]

a = [“123”, “456”, “raju”]
a.map!{|x|“91#{x}”} # => [“91123”, “91456”, “91raju”]

Even shorter (6 chars if I’m not mistaken):

a = %w{123 456 raju}
a.map!{|x|“91#{x}”}

:wink:

Kind regards

oh yeah?!? well take this

%w(123 456 raju).map{|x|“91#{x}”}

not exactly the same, as there is no persistent variable, but it is a
bit shorter

You’re absolutely right. My main point - which I failed to mention -
was, that arrays of strings can be easier represented with the %w
notation. This works of course only if strings need not contain white
space.

Kind regards

I think %w[] would be more syntactically meaningful than curly
braces, square brackets remind us of
arrays. I think it is especially important when using shortcuts, which
can
be obscure, to be as clear as possible.
