Method deprecated or moved

This method is deprecated or moved on the latest stable version. The last existing version (v7.0.0) is shown here.

These similar methods exist in v7.1.3.2:

sum(identity = nil, &block) public

Calculates a sum from the elements.

payments.sum { |p| p.price * p.tax_rate }
payments.sum(&:price)

The latter is a shortcut for:

payments.inject(0) { |sum, p| sum + p.price }

It can also calculate the sum without the use of a block.

[5, 15, 10].sum # => 30
['foo', 'bar'].sum('') # => "foobar"
[[1, 2], [3, 1, 5]].sum([]) # => [1, 2, 3, 1, 5]

The default sum of an empty list is zero. You can override this default:

[].sum(Payment.new(0)) { |i| i.amount } # => Payment.new(0)
