How to map with index in Ruby?

Question

What is the easiest way to convert

[x1, x2, x3, ... , xN]

to

[[x1, 2], [x2, 3], [x3, 4], ... , [xN, N+1]]

Answer 1

I have always enjoyed the syntax of this style:

a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
a.each_with_index.map { |el, index| el + index }
# => [1, 3, 5, 7]

Invoking each_with_index gets you an enumerator you can easily map over with your index available.
