collect() public

Returns a new array with the results of running block once for every element in enum.

If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.

(1..4).map { |i| i*i }      #=> [1, 4, 9, 16]
(1..4).collect { "cat"  }   #=> ["cat", "cat", "cat", "cat"]

collect_with_index

Use Object#enum_for if you need to collect with index:

require 'enumerator'

%w{foo bar}.enum_for(:each_with_index).collect do |item, index| 
  "#{index}: #{item}" 
end
