Subject: Tap method : good or bad practice ?
From: Sbastien Durand <lists@ b f u c >

Hi all !

I try to code a function that generates and returns options. Is it
better to do this :


def options
  options = {}
  1.upto(31) { |i| options[i] = i }
  options
end


Or this :


def options
  {}.tap { |options| 1.upto(31) { |i| options[i] = i } }
end


What is the Ruby way of doing this ? Is it common to use this
trap method ? Thank you very much for your help (I'm new to Ruby) !
