Chapter 18. Execute Around with a Block
In the last chapter we looked at using code blocks as iterators. Code blocks do make great iterators, but simply running through a collection one element at a time in no way exhausts what you can do with a code block. In this chapter we will take the next step with code blocks by seeing how we can use them as a science fiction transporter device of sorts, capable of delivering code where it is needed in a shimmering flash of light.1 Along the way we will examine how you can get data into and out of your code blocks. Finally, we will stumble across yet another reason why carefully chosen method names are worth their weight in gold.
