Nice post. But you shouldn’t use any? to test if a collection is empty. To see why try it on this array: [nil, false] and read the docs. Use empty? to test if an array is empty.
Hey Scott,
You’re absolutely right. If we want to ask an array if it is empty, we can use the .empty? method. But if we want to ask if the array has anything inside it, we can use .any? method
That’s not what #any? is for, but it is a common misconception. Try running the code I suggested you run, and read the docs I suggested you read to see why. To be more clear, try running this - [false].any?
and [false].empty?
and see if you get what you expect.
