Feature #3021

closed

Array#product should accept a block.

Added by marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune) about 14 years ago. Updated almost 13 years ago.

Target version:
[ruby-core:29045]

Description

=begin
Array#permutation and #combination will yield to the given block, or else return an enumerator.

I believe Array#product should have been designed the same way.

Returning an enumerator today would break compatibility though.

I suggest that Array#product(&block) yields to the block and returns self. This maintains compatibility while making it possible to produce an enumerable with my_array.to_enum(:product, ...) or to avoid building an intermediate array.

I could implement this feature in time for code freeze.
=end
