Issue #12075 has been updated by Akira Tanaka. How about "some?". ---------------------------------------- Feature #12075: some container#nonempty? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12075#change-57003 * Author: Yui NARUSE * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto ---------------------------------------- I sometimes write following code. ``` ary = some_metho_returns_nil_or_empty_container() # nil or "" or [] or {} if ary && !ary.empty? # some code end ``` But the condition `ary && !ary.empty?` is too long and complex. Though Ruby 2.3 introduces `&.`, but this can”Ēt be written as `ary&.empty?`. One idea is add `nonempty?` write as `ary&.nonempty?`. akr: `nonempty?` is not good name because human is not good at handling This discussion matches following core classes: * String * Array * Hash -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request / ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
