Nils and method chaining

Question

I\'m just breaking into the ruby world and I could use a helping hand.

Suppose b is nil.

I\'d like the following code to return n

Answer 1

To use a safe_nils similar to that you wrote:

def safe_nils &blk
  return blk.call
rescue NoMethodError
  return nil
end

safe_nils { a.b.c("d").e }
