Iterate over array and add numbers of each object

Ruby
1

Hi all

number = 0;
objects.each do |o|
number += o.some_number
end
return number

I guess there’s a much more beautiful way for this, or isn’t? Something
like collect or so…

Thanks :slight_smile:

If objects is an array, or any other thing which mixes-in the Enumerable
module, you can use inject:

objects.inject(0){|tot, o| tot + o.some_number}

number = 0;
objects.each do |o|
number += o.some_number
end
return number

number = objects.inject(0) { |sum, obj| sum + obj.some_number }

This is what inject is for.

number = objects.inject(0) do |sum,o|
sum += o.some_number
end

require “facets”

number = objects.map(&:some_number).sum
