Instance Method Details

#random_subarray(n = 1) ⇒ Object

Generates random subarrays. Uses random numbers and bit-fiddling to assure performant uniform distributions even for large arrays.

a = *1..5
a.random_subarray(3)
#=> [[1, 3, 5], [2, 4], [1, 3, 4, 5]]

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

def random_subarray(n=1)
  raise ArgumentError, "negative argument" if n < 0
  (1..n).map do
    r = rand(2**self.size)
    self.select.with_index { |_, i| r[i] == 1 }
  end
end

#zip_with(other, op = nil) ⇒ Object

Zip self with other, combining the elements with the provided block or symbol. The resulting array will be as long as the shorter of the two arrays.

[1,2,3].zip_with([6,5,4], :+)
#=> [7, 7, 7]
%w(a b).zip_with(%w(c d), :+)
#=> ["ac", "bd"]

For more complex combinations, a block can be provided:

[1,2,3].zip_with([6,5,4]) { |a,b| 3*a+2*b }
#=> [15, 16, 17]
