@ -379,12 +379,23 @@ converted to an Array:
gather_arguments 1, 2, 3 # prints [1, 2, 3]
The array argument must be the last positional argument, it must appear before
any keyword arguments.
The array argument must appear before any keyword arguments.
It is possible to gather arguments at the beginning or in the middle:
def gather_arguments(first_arg, *middle_arguments, last_arg)
p middle_arguments
end
gather_arguments 1, 2, 3, 4 # prints [2, 3]
The array argument will capture a Hash as the last entry if a hash was sent by
the caller after all positional arguments.
def gather_arguments(*arguments)
p arguments
end
gather_arguments 1, a: 2 # prints [1, {:a=>2}]
However, this only occurs if the method does not declare any keyword arguments.
