I have array of variables like
a,b,c = [10,20,30]
and
values = [1, 2, 3]
and assinged variables a,b,c to d like below
d = [a,b,c]
Is there any way to assign values to variables without iterating, like
d = values so that I get the following?
a = 1, b = 2, c = 3
Use
a,b,c = values
a #=> 1
b #=> 2
c #=> 3
For the updated portion:
Having d = [a,b,c] and thinking of assigning d = values and expecting a,b,c to change wouldn't work, because d = [a,b,c] is an assignment, d is set as [10,20,30].
Probably, something like this may help in understanding how you can achieve this:
a, b, c = [10, 20, 30]
values = [1,2,3]
d = -> (x) { a, b, c = x }
a #=> 10
b #=> 20
c #=> 30
d.call values
a #=> 1
b #=> 2
c #=> 3
d in above case is a lambda, they are named block which can be invoked later. They bind with the variables in current scope, so they can change them when invoked (by d.call)
d?
variables to d. What happened with variables, then?
a,b,c = values[a, b, c]is not an array of variables. They are actually some values that are referred to by the respective variables.a,b,c = [10,20,30]an "array of variables"?[10,20,30]is an array, but an array of numbers.a, b, c = ...on the other hand is an assignment. Could you elaborate, please?
