The times function in Ruby returns all the numbers from 0 to one less than the number itself. It iterates the given block, passing in increasing values from 0 up to the limit. If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.

Syntax: (number).times

Parameter: The function takes the integer till which the numbers are returned. It also takes an block.

Return Value: The function returns all the numbers from 0 to one less than the number itself.

Example #1:




# Ruby program for times function 
   
# Initializing the number 
num1 = 8
   
# Prints the number from 0 to num1-1 
puts num1.times { |i| print i, " " }
    
# Initializing the number
num2 = 5
   
# Prints the number from 0 to num2-1
puts num2.times { |i| print i, " " }


Output :

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
0 1 2 3 4

Example #2:




# Ruby program for times function 
   
# Initializing the number 
num1 = 4
   
# Prints the number from 0 to num1-1 
puts num1.times { |i| print i, " " }
   
# Initializing the number
num2 = -2
   
# Prints the number from 0 to num2
puts num2.times { |i| print i, " " }


Output:

0 1 2 3
