Code #1 : Example for cycle() method

# Ruby code for cycle() method

# declaring array
a = [18, 22, 33, 5, 6]

# declaring array
b = [1, 4, 1, 1, 88, 9]

# declaring array
c = [18, 22, nil, nil, 50, 6]

# cycling the array elements
puts "cycle : #{a.cycle(3){ |x| puts x*x }}\n\n"

# cycling the array elements
puts "cycle : #{b.cycle(2){|x| puts x}}\n\n"

Output :

# cycling the array elements
puts "cycle : #{a.cycle(3){ |x| puts x }}\n\n"

# cycling the array elements
# passing negative value for cycle
puts "cycle : #{b.cycle(-1){|x| puts x}}\n\n"
