Question

Can I get the next value in an each loop?

(1..5).each do |i|
    @store = i + (next value of i)
end

where the answer would be..

1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 = 29

And also can I get the next of the next value?

Answer 1

Like this:

range = 1..5
store = 0

range.each_with_index do |value, i|
  next_value = range.to_a[i+1].nil? ? 0 : range.to_a[i+1]
  store += value + next_value
end    

p store # => 29

There may be better ways, but this works.

You can get the next of the next value like this:

range.to_a[i+2]
