How to compare a string against multiple other strings

Question

Is there a method that let me compare one String with multiple others in Ruby? I really would like to do something like this:

myString.eql?([\"string1\",\"st         


        

Answer 1

I find myself wanting this a lot, so I added a String method to be able to do it more idiomatically:

class String
  def among?(*array)
    array.flatten.include?(self)
  end
end

Then

myString.among?("string1","string2","string3")
