Hello,

I’ve found there’s a mistake in the keyword documentation for Ruby 1.9  
on [ruby-doc.org](http://ruby-doc.org). For “return” one code example is:

def three  
return 3  
ensure  
puts “Enjoy the 3!”  
end

a = 3 # Enjoy the 3! #\<=====WRONG  
puts a # 3

where the marked line does not show “Enjoy the 3!”. I think that line  
has to be  
a = three  
.

Btw., you can pass an argument to the “next” keyword:

irb(main):001:0\> ary = [1, 2, 3]  
=\> [1, 2, 3]  
irb(main):002:0\> ary1 = ary.map{|x| next;x + 1}  
=\> [nil, nil, nil]  
irb(main):003:0\> ary2 = ary.map{|x| next(95);x + 1}  
=\> [95, 95, 95]  
irb(main):004:0\>

Ha! I love that one. Earth to me. I’ll fix it and forward to James.

Good point. I’ll add that too.
