Method: Numeric#step

Defined in:

lib/source/ruby.rb

#step(limit, step) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

num.step(limit, step ) {|i| block } -> num

Invokes block with the sequence of numbers starting at num, incremented by step on each call, then returns self. The loop finishes when the value to be passed to the block is greater than limit (if step is positive) or less than limit (if step is negative).

1.step(5, 2) { |i| puts i }
Math::E.step(Math::PI, 0.2) { |f| puts i }

produces:

1
3
5

2.91828182845905
3.11828182845905
