class Symbol

|
|
|
# Turns the symbol into a simple proc, which is especially useful for enumerations. Examples:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# # The same as people.collect { |p| p.name }
|
|
|
|
# people.collect(&:name)
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# # The same as people.select { |p| p.manager? }.collect { |p| p.salary }
|
|
|
|
# people.select(&:manager?).collect(&:salary)
