how to compare to previous item in `each` iterator?

Вопрос
update: sorry, I fixed my program:
a = [ 'str1' , 'str2', 'str2', 'str3' ]
name = ''
a.each_with_index do |x, i |
if x == name
puts "#{x} found duplicate."
else
puts x
name = x if i!= 0
end
end
output:
str1
str2
str2 found duplicate.
str3
Is there another beautiful way in ruby
language to do the same thing ?
btw, actually. a
is a ActiveRecord::Relation
in my real case.
Thanks.

The problem you might have with each_cons
is that it iterates through n-1
pairs (if the length of the Enumerable is n
). In some cases this means you have to separately handle edge cases for the first (or last) element.
In that case, it's really easy to implement a method similar to each_cons
, but which would yield (nil, elem0)
for the first element (as opposed to each_cons
, which yields (elem0, elem1)
:
module Enumerable
def each_with_previous
self.inject(nil){|prev, curr| yield prev, curr; curr}
self
end
end

you can use each_cons:
irb(main):014:0> [1,2,3,4,5].each_cons(2) {|a,b| p "#{a} = #{b}"}
"1 = 2"
"2 = 3"
"3 = 4"
"4 = 5"
You can use each_cons
a.each_cons(2) do |first,last|
if last == name
puts 'got you!'
else
name = first
end
end
You may use Enumerable#each_cons:
a = [ 'str1' , 'str2', 'str3' , ..... ]
name = ''
a.each_cons(2) do |x, y|
if y == name
puts 'got you! '
else
name = x
end
end
As you probably want to do more than puts
with the duplicates, I would rather keep the duplicates in a structure:
### question's example:
a = [ 'str1' , 'str2', 'str2', 'str3' ]
# => ["str1", "str2", "str2", "str3"]
a.each_cons(2).select{|a, b| a == b }.map{|m| m.first}
# => ["str2"]
### a more complex example:
d = [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 4, 6, 6]
# => [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 4, 6, 6]
d.each_cons(2).select{|a, b| a == b }.map{|m| m.first}
# => [3, 6]
