How can I delete one element from an array by value

Question

I have an array of elements in Ruby

[2,4,6,3,8]

I need to remove elements with value 3 for example

How do I do that?<

Answer 1

You can also monkey patch it. I never understood why Ruby has an except method for Hash but not for Array:

class Array
  def except value
    value = value.kind_of(Array) ? value : [value]
    self - value
  end
end

Now you can do:

[1,3,7,"436",354,nil].except(354) #=> [1,3,7,"436",nil]

Or:

[1,3,7,"436",354,nil].except([354, 1]) #=> [3,7,"436",nil]
