Convert an array of integers into an array of strings in Ruby?

Question

I have an array:

int_array = [11,12]

I need to convert it into

str_array = [\'11\',\'12\']

I\'m new to t

Answer 1

map and collect functions will work the same here.

int_array = [1, 2, 3]

str_array = int_array.map { |i| i.to_s }
=> str_array = ['1', '2', '3']

You can acheive this with one line:

array = [1, 2, 3]
array.map! { |i| i.to_s }

and you can use a really cool shortcut for proc: (https://stackoverflow.com/a/1961118/2257912)

array = [1, 2, 3]
array.map!(&:to_s)
