Adjacency

Just for completeness (it should behave like this), comparing ranges that start and end with the same value will overlap, e.g.

(1..5).overlaps?(5..10) # => true

Take care with time ranges

Trying this in the console:

(1.day.from_now..5.days.from_now).overlaps?(5.days.from_now..10.days.from_now)

will blow up…

It’s fine with Dates though:

(1.day.from_now.to_date..5.days.from_now.to_date).overlaps?(5.days.from_now.to_date..10.days.from_now.to_date) # => true

MUCH easier way to pluralize without the number...

Just use Ruby!

"string".pluralize(count)
