Method: Date#step

Defined in:

date_core.c

#step(limit[, step = 1]) ⇒ Object #step(limit[, step = 1]) {|date| ... } ⇒ self

Iterates evaluation of the given block, which takes a date object. The limit should be a date object.

For example:

Date.new(2001).step(Date.new(2001,-1,-1)).select{|d| d.sunday?}.size

#=> 52

Overloads:

• #step(limit[, step = 1]) {|date| ... } ⇒ self

  Yields:

  • (date)

  Returns:

  • (self)
