Syntax error, unexpected ',' , expecting ')'

Ruby
1

Hello people, i am new at ruby and ror developing and i need your help
with this:

i got this code

class Trabajo

def saludar(nombre)

puts "Hola #{nombre}"
yield (("Fulano,32", "lol"))

end

end

class Trabajo2 < Trabajo

end

tr=Trabajo2.new
tr.saludar(“David”){ |nombre2, edad| puts “algo raro #{nombre2}, tu edad
es: #{edad}” }

ok, it is easy but i always got the same error: syntax error, unexpected
‘,’ , expecting ‘)’ could some of you help me, i think the code it’s
ok.

I would be glad for your help…

use:

yield [“Fulano,32”, “lol”]

yield wants only one object

OMG, it was so easy, thank you very much

but why these codes work?

def a_method(a, b)
a + yield(a, b)
end

a_method(1, 2) { |a, b| (a + b) * 3 }

Sorry but this is plain wrong.

irb(main):001:0> def f; yield 1; yield 11,22; yield 111,222,333; end
=> nil
irb(main):002:0> f {|*a| p a}
[1]
[11, 22]
[111, 222, 333]
=> [111, 222, 333]
irb(main):003:0> f {|a| p a}
1
11
111
=> 111
irb(main):004:0> f {|a,b,c| printf “a=%p b=%p c=%p\n”, a, b, c}
a=1 b=nil c=nil
a=11 b=22 c=nil
a=111 b=222 c=333
=> nil

yield is like a method call (apart from the block you cannot pass).

Kind regards

The expression ((“Fulano,32”, “lol”)) isn’t valid Ruby. What did you
want to do?

If you wanted to put the block arguments in paranthesis, you need
single paranthesis directly after the “yield” (without any space):

yield(“Fulano,32”, “lol”)

But you can actually leave out the paranthesis.
