Question

Let’s say I have an array of sentences:

a = ["I love pie", "I love you more and more each day", "every day is a good day"]

I want to test each word in the sentence. Because ruby is so awesome I thought a.each.each might work but it doesn’t. Is there a clean way to this without having to nest an each inside of an each?

Answer 1

a.each { |sentence| sentence.split.each { |word| # do something with the word } }

or a slightly longer format if:

a.each do |sentence|
  sentence.split.each do |word|
    # do something
    # do something
    # do something
  end
end
