Explain redo vs. retry usage
In Ruby, the redo
and retry
keywords are used to control the flow of loops and error handling, but they serve different purposes and are used in different contexts.
The redo
statement is used to repeat the current iteration of a loop without re-evaluating the loop condition or fetching the next item in the loop. It is useful when you want to give a loop iteration another chance because some condition was not met or an error occurred, but you believe the issue can be resolved without moving to the next iteration.
For example, if you are processing user input and the input is invalid, you might use redo
to repeat the iteration, giving the user another chance to provide valid input:
(0..5).each do |i|
puts "Value: #{i}"
redo if i > 2 # This creates an infinite loop if not handled correctly
end
In this example, once i
exceeds 2, the loop will continuously redo the iteration where i
is 3, creating an infinite loop unless additional logic is added to break out of the loop
The retry
statement, on the other hand, is used to start the entire loop or block from the beginning. It is typically used in error handling where an exception might occur, and you want to attempt the entire op...
