Is there a better way of handling this in Ruby, while continuing to use the symbols?
pos = :pos1 # can be :pos2, :pos3, etc.
if pos == :pos1 || pos == :pos2 || pos == :pos3
puts 'a'
end
if pos == :pos1 || pos == :pos2
puts 'b'
end
if pos == :pos1
puts 'c'
end
The obvious way would be swapping out the symbols for number constants, but that's not an option.
pos = 3
if pos >= 1
puts 'a'
end
if pos >= 2
puts 'b'
end
if pos >= 3
puts 'c'
end
Thanks.
