You can create a pointer to your display_price method with a Proc object, e.g.:
this_func = Proc.new {|groc, bat| display_price(groc, bat)}
loop(this_func, batch)
Your loop method invokes the actual function with the .call method, e.g.:
def loop(func, matrix)
# Note that .each will almost certainly not yield the matrix object itself.
matrix.each { |matrix_item| func.call(@grocery, matrix) }
end
No clue if that will work for your actual application--trying to figure out
what you might be doing is making my head hurt. ;-) This feels like it's well
outside of noob-land. If you back up & tell us more about your underlying
goals, we may be able to give advice for staying w/more straightforward
processing.

Subject: [Rails] Passing a function with arguments to another function with
arguments that is a loop
Hi, I am a noobie. I just want to know what is the standard or most
effective way of doing this
I have two functions
def display_price(grocery,batch)
grocery_price = grocery.send(batch).price
if grocery_price
number_to_currency(grocery_price)
else
"NA"
end
end
def loop(func,matrix)
matrix.each { |matrix| display_price(@grocery,matrix) }
end
the "func argument" in the loop function is suppose to be
display_price but how do i put it in if the "batch" is the thing that
I want to be looped through?
