Question

How can I shift all of these OR statements into something that is done via an array or iterator?

Here’s the long inelegant OR chain:

type = "Open top" if cargo_operation_container_shifting[12] == 1 or cargo_operation_conatiner_shifting[16] ==1 or cargo_operations_container_shifting[99] == 1

(this is a short example)

Here is the progress I have made on making this into an array so far:

open_top_array  = [12, 16, 99]
type = "Open top" if open_top_array.each { |n| cargo_operation_container_shifting[n] == 1 }

Answer 1

You the any? method:

open_top_array  = [12, 16, 99]
type = "Open top" if open_top_array.any?{ |n| cargo_operation_container_shifting[n] == 1 }
