Hi All,
I have a loop that looks like this
def slow_loop(array)
array.each_with_index do |item, i|
next_item = array[i+1]
if next_item && item.attribute == next_item.attribute
do_something_with(next_item)
end
end
end
aside from changing the way do_something_with is called, how can i make this perform better?
thx,
-C
p.s.
Since it appears that this is an 'O(n)' operation, there is apparently no performance to be gained here, so the answer i chose is one that uses a ruby method that already encapsulates this operation. thanks for your help everybody
