How to use Select In Ruby
The select method returns a new array containing elements for which the block returns true. By using select with the condition element != "", we can remove empty string from array.
Syntax:
array.select { |element| element != “” }
Example:
In this example, we use select to create a new array containing elements that are not empty strings.
# Original array containing strings,
# including empty strings
array = ["hello", "", "world", "", "ruby"]
#Removing empty strings using select
# to remove empty strings
result = array.select { |element| element != "" }
puts result.inspect
Output
["hello", "world", "ruby"]
