How to break from nested loops in Ruby?

Question

assume the following ruby code:

bank.branches do |branch|
  branch.employees.each do |employee|
    NEXT BRANCH if employee.name = \"John Doe\"
  end
end
         


        

Answer 1

My impulse would be to move the nested blocks into a method, with a return in place of the break.

def find_branch_and_employee_by_name(bank,emp_name)
  bank.branches.each do |branch|
    branch.employees.each do |employee|
      return([branch,employee]) if employee.name == emp_name
    end
  end
  nil   # employee wasn't found
end
