next if ruby

# Sample Ruby code demonstrating the use of "next if" statement

# Define an array of numbers
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

# Iterate through each number in the array
numbers.each do |number|
  # Skip the current iteration if the number is even
  next if number.even?

  # Print the odd numbers
  puts "Odd number: #{number}"
end

Explanation:

  1. numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]: Create an array named "numbers" with a set of integers.

  2. numbers.each do |number|: Iterate through each element in the "numbers" array using the each method.

  3. next if number.even?: Skip to the next iteration if the current number is even. The next if statement is a way to skip the rest of the code in the current iteration and move on to the next one.

  4. puts "Odd number: #{number}": Print the odd numbers. This line is only reached if the current number is odd (skipping even numbers).

Note: In this example, the code skips even numbers and prints only odd numbers during the iteration.
