Array of indexes to array of ranges

Question

Ranges in ruby are pretty cool. I end up with arrays such as this:

geneRanges = [(234..25), (500..510), (1640..1653)]

And subsequently ha

Answer 1

array = [505, 506, 507, 600, 601, 602, 603, 1643, 1644, 1645, 1646, 1647, 1648, 1649, 1650, 1651, 1652, 1653, 1654]
array.inject([]){ |a, e| a[-1] && a[-1].last && a[-1].last == e-1 ? a[-1] = (a[-1].first..e) : a << (e..e); a }
#=> [505..507, 600..603, 1643..1654]

and for not sorted arrays you can presort it:

array.sort!.uniq!
