Given an array of arguments, how do I send those arguments to a particular function in Ruby?
- by Steven Xu
Forgive the beginner question, but say I have an array:
a = [1,2,3]
And a function somewhere; let's say it's an instance function:
class Ilike
def turtles(*args)
puts args.inspect
end
end
How do I invoke Ilike.turtles with a as if I were calling (Ilike.new).turtles(1,2,3).
I'm familiar with send, but this doesn't seem to translate an array into an argument list.
A parallel of what I'm looking for is the Javascript apply, which is equivalent to call but converts the array into an argument list.
