Question

I have an array

foo = %w(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)

How can I split or “chunk” this into smaller arrays?

class Array
  def chunk(size)
    # return array of arrays
  end
end

foo.chunk(3)
# => [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9],[10]]

Answer 1

Take a look at Enumerable#each_slice:

foo.each_slice(3).to_a
#=> [["1", "2", "3"], ["4", "5", "6"], ["7", "8", "9"], ["10"]]
