[ruby-core:44034] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5663] Combined map/select method

From: "rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas)" <rr.rosas@...>
Date: 2012-04-01 02:18:16 UTC
List: ruby-core #44034
Issue #5663 has been updated by rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas).


I actually prefer map_select as it is self-explanatory. There isn't a single word that is able to clearly provide the description for what it does.
----------------------------------------
Feature #5663: Combined map/select method
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5663#change-25563

Target version: 2.0.0


It is pretty common to want to map over an Enumerable, but only include the elements that match a particular filter. A common idiom is:

enum.map { |i| i + 1 if i.even? }.compact

It is of course also possible to do this with two calls:

enum.select { |i| i.even? }.map { |i| i + 1 }

Both cases are clumsy and require two iterations through the loop. I'd like to propose a combined method:

enum.map_select { |i| i + 1 if i.even? }

The only caveat is that it would be impossible to intentionally return nil here; suggestions welcome. The naming is also a strawman; feel free to propose something better.
