Ruby is so awesome it allows developers to modify or add new methods to Some of its class or module, like the Enumerable module.
module Enumerable
def my_each
i = 0
while i < length
yield(self[i])
i += 1
end
end
endWe declare a method under the Enumerable module so we can call it like this.
[1, 4, 2, 56].my_each { |item| puts item }
# Output
# 1
# 4
# 2
# 56The length inside the method represents the size of the array. Based on the above example we can also say self.length but we can simply omit that. Inside our loop is a call to yield which basically will call the block, self[i] represents the elements of each of the array.
