[ 常見問題 ] How to sum array of numbers in Ruby?

Source From Here
Question
I have an array of integers. For example:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. array = [123,321,12389]  

Is there any nice way to get the sum of them? An ugly way is:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. sum = 0  
2. array.each { |a| sum+=a }  

How-To
Array in Ruby include Enumerable module. So you can try inject method:


For example:

>> array = [1,2,3,4,5]
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>> array.inject(0,:+)
=> 15 # 1+2+3+4+5
>> array.inject(:+)
=> 15
>> array.inject(0){|sum,obj| sum+obj}
=> 15
>> array.inject{|sum,obj| sum+obj}
=> 15
