rails foreach

The foreach method in Ruby on Rails is used to iterate over a collection and perform a specific action for each element in that collection. Here is a step-by-step explanation of how the foreach method works:

  1. The foreach method is called on a collection, such as an array or a hash.
  2. It takes a block of code as an argument, which specifies the action to be performed on each element of the collection.
  3. The foreach method iterates over each element in the collection, executing the block of code for each element.
  4. Inside the block, you can access the current element using a block parameter, such as |element|.
  5. The block of code can contain any Ruby code that you want to execute for each element.
  6. After the block of code is executed for all elements, the foreach method returns the original collection.

Here is an example of how the foreach method can be used in Ruby on Rails:

names = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]

names.foreach do |name|
  puts "Hello, #{name}!"
end

In this example, the foreach method is called on the names array. It iterates over each element in the array and executes the block of code inside the do...end statement. The block of code prints a greeting message for each name in the array.

Output:

Hello, Alice!
Hello, Bob!
Hello, Charlie!
