Tutorial on the usage of loop statements in Ruby and tutorial on the usage of ruby statements
The loop in Ruby is used to execute the same code block for a specified number of times. This chapter describes the loop statements supported by Ruby in detail.
Ruby while statement:
Syntax:
While conditional [do]
Code
End
Run the code when the condition is true. The condition for a while loop is that the reserved words in the Code are wrapped in a line break, separated by a backslash (\) or a semicolon.
Instance:
#!/usr/bin/ruby$i = 0$num = 5while $i < $num do puts("Inside the loop i = #$i" ) $i +=1end
This produces the following results:
Inside the loop i = 0Inside the loop i = 1Inside the loop i = 2Inside the loop i = 3Inside the loop i = 4
Ruby while rhetoric:
Syntax:
Code while condition
OR
Begin
Code
End while conditional
Run the code when the condition is true.
If the while modifier follows a begin statement but does not have a rescue or ensure clause, the code is evaluated based on the previous condition.
Instance:
#!/usr/bin/ruby$i = 0$num = 5begin puts("Inside the loop i = #$i" ) $i +=1end while $i < $num
This produces the following results:
Inside the loop i = 0Inside the loop i = 1Inside the loop i = 2Inside the loop i = 3Inside the loop i = 4
Ruby until statement:
Until conditional [do]
Code
End
Run the Code if the condition is false. Reserved words separated by the until Condition Statement from the code, line break or semicolon.
Statement:
#!/usr/bin/ruby$i = 0$num = 5until $i > $num do puts("Inside the loop i = #$i" ) $i +=1;end
This produces the following results:
Inside the loop i = 0Inside the loop i = 1Inside the loop i = 2Inside the loop i = 3Inside the loop i = 4Inside the loop i = 5
Ruby until rhetoric:
Syntax:
Code until conditional
OR
Begin
Code
End until conditional
Run the Code if the condition is false.
If the until talker follows the begin statement but does not have a rescue or ensure clause, the code is executed before the conditional evaluation.
Example:
#!/usr/bin/ruby$i = 0$num = 5begin puts("Inside the loop i = #$i" ) $i +=1;end until $i > $num
This produces the following results:
Inside the loop i = 0Inside the loop i = 1Inside the loop i = 2Inside the loop i = 3Inside the loop i = 4Inside the loop i = 5
Ruby for statement:
Syntax:
For variable [, variable...] in expression [do]
Code
End
Each element of code execution is in the in expression.
Instance:
#!/usr/bin/rubyfor i in 0..5 puts "Value of local variable is #{i}"end
The value range is 0 .. 5. Because the range of values allowed in the statement for I in 0 .. 5 is from 0 to 5 (including 5), the following results are generated:
Value of local variable is 0Value of local variable is 1Value of local variable is 2Value of local variable is 3Value of local variable is 4Value of local variable is 5
The for... in loop is almost equivalent:
(expression).each do |variable[, variable...]| code end
Except for a for loop, the range of a new local variable is not created. A circular expression is separated from the code, reserved words, a line break, or a semicolon.
Example:
#!/usr/bin/ruby(0..5).each do |i| puts "Value of local variable is #{i}"end
This produces the following results:
Value of local variable is 0Value of local variable is 1Value of local variable is 2Value of local variable is 3Value of local variable is 4Value of local variable is 5
Ruby break statement:
Syntax:
Break
Terminate most internal loops. The method in the terminating Block returns nil if the called method and related block.
Instance:
#!/usr/bin/rubyfor i in 0..5 if i > 2 then break end puts "Value of local variable is #{i}"end
This produces the following results:
Value of local variable is 0Value of local variable is 1Value of local variable is 2
Ruby next statement:
Syntax:
Next
Jump to the next iteration of the most internal loop. If the call block terminates execution within one block (with yield or the call returns nil ).
Example:
#!/usr/bin/rubyfor i in 0..5 if i < 2 then next end puts "Value of local variable is #{i}"end
This produces the following results:
Value of local variable is 2Value of local variable is 3Value of local variable is 4Value of local variable is 5
Ruby redo statement:
Syntax:
Redo
Starts the innermost loop iteration again without checking the cycle conditions.
Yield or call will be restarted if one block is called.
Example:
#!/usr/bin/rubyfor i in 0..5 if i < 2 then puts "Value of local variable is #{i}" redo endend
This will generate the following results and execute an infinite loop:
Value of local variable is 0Value of local variable is 0............................
Ruby retry statement:
Syntax:
Retry
If the retry expression appears in the rescue clause, it starts from the beginning.
begin do_something # exception raisedrescue # handles error retry # restart from beginningend
If retry iteration, block, or body expression occurs, restart the iteration call. The parameter conditions of the iterator are recalculated.
for i in 1..5 retry if some_condition # restart from i == 1end
Instance:
#!/usr/bin/rubyfor i in 1..5 retry if i > 2 puts "Value of local variable is #{i}"end
This will generate the following results and will enter an infinite loop:
Value of local variable is 1Value of local variable is 2Value of local variable is 1Value of local variable is 2Value of local variable is 1Value of local variable is 2............................
