Question

I am comparing arrays of objects and I have a method that determines whether or not two elements are equivalent. I want to to call this method on each pair of elements from both arrays, is there an elegant way of doing this to find a truth value (i.e true if all elements in each array were equivalent, false otherwise)

this is what I have currently:

c = false
self.children.zip(other.children).each do |s,o| 
  c = s.equiv o  # I need a good way to store this result
  break if not c
end

I was hoping I could do something like this:

c = self.children.zip(other.children).each{|s,o| s.equiv o}

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Well you have Enumerable#all?

c = self.children.zip(other.children).all? {|s,o| s.equiv o}
