search for a specific element in an array in Ruby
Code snippet on how to search for a specific element in an array in Ruby
arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
search_element = 3
arr.each do |el|
if el == search_element
puts "Element #{search_element} found!"
end
end
This sample code searches for a specific element in an array. First, we create an array arr
of five elements, then we assign the element we are searching for to the variable search_element
. We then use the each
method to loop through each element in the array, and the if
statement to check if the current element is equal to the search_element
. If they match, then we output the message “Element #{search_element} found!“. The curly braces are used to interpolate the contents of the search_element
variable into the string.
