Counting up in 5's or something similar

Rails
1

Hi

I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that you can count up in ‘jumps’ using
ruby?

I’ve got two times and I want to basically go up in 15 minute jumps
without using the whole for loop thing.

Any helpful ideas? All my ruby books are in storage and I can’t find
anything on google …but then I’m not sure what I’m looking for!

Thanks in advance.

Code:

<%- (@info[0][1]… @info[0][2]).??? do %>

You probably talk about the step function (http://www.ruby-doc.org/
core/classes/Numeric.src/M000189.html). Always look first the Ruby
API.

Regards.

Something like Numeric#step

irb> require ‘rubygems’
=> true
irb> require ‘activesupport’
=> true
irb> start_time = 10.minutes.from_now
=> Fri Jun 05 17:26:49 -0400 2009
irb> end_time = 4.hours.since start_time
=> Fri Jun 05 21:26:49 -0400 2009
irb> start_time.to_i.step(end_time.to_i, 15.minutes) do |sec| puts
Time.at(sec); end

You have to go from Time => Fixnum => Time, but you can adjust to your
specifics.

Yeah thanks!

Just after I posted it I remembered my pascal (or similar) days and
step came into mind …

(@info[0][1]… @info[0][2]).step(15.minutes) do |i|

Seemed to do the trick nicely!
