I have a ruby array of, say, 10 elements, and I’d like to return all but the 5th element.

a = *(1..10)

I’d like to be able to do something like

a[0..3 + 5..9]

Or even better something like (borrowing from the R syntax),

a[-4]

to do this, but that doesn’t work. (Nor does anything more clever I’ve tried like getting an array of the element indices). What’s the best way to do this in ruby?

    No black magic required:

    a[0..3] + a[5..9]
