Slide 3
System Requirements
|
Here we are using

|
Slide 4
Pre-requisites
|
To follow this tutorial, you must have Internet Connection.
You must also have knowledge of Linux commands, Terminal and Text-editor.
If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website.
|
|
Now let me explain what is referred to as a “loop” in Ruby.
|
Slide 5
What is a loop?
|
A loop is a command or set of commands that are executed a fixed number of times.
|
Slide 6
Looping statements
|
Ruby has the following main looping statements.
|
|
In this tutorial we will learn how to use the for and each looping constructs.
|
Type mkdir ttt and press Enter
|
Before we begin, please create the following folders in your home directory,ttt, ruby-tutorial, looping-statements. please create the sub- folder as mentioned here.
|
|
Now we have created the requisite folders.
Let's move ahead.
|
Slide 7
“for” loop
|
The syntax of the “for” loop in Ruby is as follows:
for “variable” in “a collection of objects”
ruby code
end
Let us try to understand it with an example.
|
Switch to gedit where you have already opened the file “for-loop.rb” with the for loop code typed inside.
|
Create a new file in gedit as shown in the basic level Ruby tutorials.
And name it “for-loop.rb”
|
|
I already have a working example of the “for” loop.
You can type the code as we go through this example.
|
Highlight “for”
|
I have declared a “for” loop in this example.
|
Highlight (1..20)
|
We have a set of numbers 1 to 20.
|
Highlight “for i in (1..20)”
|
We declare a variable called “i” within the “for” loop.
|
Continue the highlight
|
The variable “i” gets initialized to the first element in the set of numbers 1 to 20.
|
Continue the highlight
|
The “for” loop declaration causes the code to iterate over each element in the set 1 to 20.
|
Highlight “puts”
|
The “puts” method declared within the “for” loop is responsible for generating the output.
|
Switch to the terminal and type
ruby for-loop.rb
Point to the output
|
Now open the terminal and type
“ruby for-loop.rb”
and see the output.
|
Analyzing the output
|
The output will be an array of numbers 1 to 20.
|
|
In this example, we declared a “for” loop for an inclusive range.
It included all numbers from 1 to 20.
|
|
Next we shall look at implementing the “for” loop for a non-inclusive range.
|
|
Continue to type the next part of the code.
|
Highlight “for i in (1...20)”
|
Non-inclusive means it will not include the last element in the collection of objects.
|
Continue the highlight
|
Here a “for” loop is implemented for a non-inclusive range of numbers 1 to 20.
|
Continue the highlight
|
You will notice shortly that the number 20 will not be printed in the output.
|
Highlight the 3 dots only
|
The last digit does not get included when you have 3 dots between numbers.
|
Switch to the terminal and type
ruby for-loop.rb
Point to the output
|
Now open the terminal and type “ruby for-loop.rb”
and see the output.
|
Analyzing the output
|
The output will still be an array of numbers but will not include the number 20.
<Pause>
|
|
Now, you should be capable enough to write your own “for” loop.
|
Slide 8
“each” loop
|
The syntax of the “each” loop in Ruby is as follows:
“a collection of objects”.each do |item|
ruby code
end
Let us try to understand it with an example.
|
Switch to gedit where you have already opened the file “each-loop.rb” with the each loop code typed inside.
|
Create a new file in gedit as shown in the basic level Ruby tutorials.
And name it “each-loop.rb”
|
|
I already have a working example of the “each” loop.
You can type the code as we go through this example.
|
Highlight “for”
|
I have declared an “each” loop in this example.
We have a set of numbers 1 to 20.
|
Highlight “for i in (1..20)”
|
We declare a variable called “i” within the “each” loop.
|
Continue the highlight
|
The “i” variable gets initialized to the first element in the set of numbers 1 to 20.
|
Continue the highlight
|
The “each” loop declaration causes the code to iterate over each element in the set 1 to 20.
|
Highlight “puts”
|
The “puts” method declared within the “each” loop is responsible for generating the output.
|
Switch to the terminal and type “ruby each-loop.rb”
|
Now open the terminal and type “ruby each-loop.rb”
and see the output.
|
Analyzing the output
|
The output will be an array of numbers 1 to 20.
|
|
In the above example we declared an “each” loop for an inclusive range.
It included all numbers from 1 to 20.
|
|
Next we shall look at implementing the “each” loop for a non-inclusive range.
|
Switch back to gedit
|
Let's get back to the same file we were looking at.
|
|
Continue to type the next part of the code.
|
Highlight “for i in (1...20)”
|
Non-inclusive means it will not include the last element in the collection of objects.
|
Continue the highlight
|
Here a “each” loop is implemented for a non-inclusive range of numbers 1 to 20.
|
Continue the highlight
|
You will notice shortly that the number 20 will not be printed in the output.
|
Highlight the 3 dots only
|
The last digit does not get included when you have 3 dots between numbers.
|
Switch to the terminal and type
ruby each-loop.rb
Point to the output
|
Now open the terminal and type “ruby each-loop.rb”
and see the output.
|
|
Now you should be capable enough to write your own “each” loop.
<Pause>
|
Slide 9
|
How would we determine which looping construct to choose?
Let us try to recall the “for” loop construct.
|
Open “for-loop.rb”
|
In the first example, we iterated over a set of numbers from 1 to 20 using “for”.
Execute “ruby for-loop.rb” in you have to anyways and see the output.
Now look at the code in gedit.
|
Highlight “for number in (1..20)”
|
When you invoke the “for” loop, Ruby is actually calling the “each” method behind the scenes.
And calling “each” or “for” will generate the same output.
|
|
Since the call to “for” in turn calls “each”, it is preferable to use the “each” loop instead.
