A Proc
object is an encapsulation of a block of code, which can be stored in a local variable, passed to a method or another Proc
, and can be called. Proc
is an essential concept in Ruby and a core of its functional programming features.
square = Proc.new {|x| x**2 } square.call(3) #=> 9 # shorthands: square.(3) #=> 9 square[3] #=> 9
Proc
objects are closures, meaning they remember and can use the entire context in which they were created.
def gen_times(factor) Proc.new {|n| n*factor } # remembers the value of factor at the moment of creation end times3 = gen_times(3) times5 = gen_times(5) times3.call(12) #=> 36 times5.call(5) #=> 25 times3.call(times5.call(4)) #=> 60
Creation
There are several methods to create a Proc
-
Use the
Proc
class constructor:proc1 = Proc.new {|x| x**2 }
-
Use the
Kernel#proc
method as a shorthand ofProc.new
:proc2 = proc {|x| x**2 }
-
Receiving a block of code into proc argument (note the
&
):def make_proc(&block) block end proc3 = make_proc {|x| x**2 }
-
Construct a proc with lambda semantics using the
Kernel#lambda
method (see below for explanations about lambdas):lambda1 = lambda {|x| x**2 }
-
Use the Lambda proc literal syntax (also constructs a proc with lambda semantics):
lambda2 = ->(x) { x**2 }
Lambda and non-lambda semantics
Procs are coming in two flavors: lambda and non-lambda (regular procs). Differences are:
-
In lambdas,
return
andbreak
means exit from this lambda; -
In non-lambda procs,
return
means exit from embracing method (and will throwLocalJumpError
if invoked outside the method); -
In non-lambda procs,
break
means exit from the method which the block given for. (and will throwLocalJumpError
if invoked after the method returns); -
In lambdas, arguments are treated in the same way as in methods: strict, with
ArgumentError
for mismatching argument number, and no additional argument processing; -
Regular procs accept arguments more generously: missing arguments are filled with
nil
, singleArray
arguments are deconstructed if the proc has multiple arguments, and there is no error raised on extra arguments.
Examples:
# +return+ in non-lambda proc, +b+, exits +m2+. # (The block +{ return }+ is given for +m1+ and embraced by +m2+.) $a = []; def m1(&b) b.call; $a << :m1 end; def m2() m1 { return }; $a << :m2 end; m2; p $a #=> [] # +break+ in non-lambda proc, +b+, exits +m1+. # (The block +{ break }+ is given for +m1+ and embraced by +m2+.) $a = []; def m1(&b) b.call; $a << :m1 end; def m2() m1 { break }; $a << :m2 end; m2; p $a #=> [:m2] # +next+ in non-lambda proc, +b+, exits the block. # (The block +{ next }+ is given for +m1+ and embraced by +m2+.) $a = []; def m1(&b) b.call; $a << :m1 end; def m2() m1 { next }; $a << :m2 end; m2; p $a #=> [:m1, :m2] # Using +proc+ method changes the behavior as follows because # The block is given for +proc+ method and embraced by +m2+. $a = []; def m1(&b) b.call; $a << :m1 end; def m2() m1(&proc { return }); $a << :m2 end; m2; p $a #=> [] $a = []; def m1(&b) b.call; $a << :m1 end; def m2() m1(&proc { break }); $a << :m2 end; m2; p $a # break from proc-closure (LocalJumpError) $a = []; def m1(&b) b.call; $a << :m1 end; def m2() m1(&proc { next }); $a << :m2 end; m2; p $a #=> [:m1, :m2] # +return+, +break+ and +next+ in the stubby lambda exits the block. # (+lambda+ method behaves same.) # (The block is given for stubby lambda syntax and embraced by +m2+.) $a = []; def m1(&b) b.call; $a << :m1 end; def m2() m1(&-> { return }); $a << :m2 end; m2; p $a #=> [:m1, :m2] $a = []; def m1(&b) b.call; $a << :m1 end; def m2() m1(&-> { break }); $a << :m2 end; m2; p $a #=> [:m1, :m2] $a = []; def m1(&b) b.call; $a << :m1 end; def m2() m1(&-> { next }); $a << :m2 end; m2; p $a #=> [:m1, :m2] p = proc {|x, y| "x=#{x}, y=#{y}" } p.call(1, 2) #=> "x=1, y=2" p.call([1, 2]) #=> "x=1, y=2", array deconstructed p.call(1, 2, 8) #=> "x=1, y=2", extra argument discarded p.call(1) #=> "x=1, y=", nil substituted instead of error l = lambda {|x, y| "x=#{x}, y=#{y}" } l.call(1, 2) #=> "x=1, y=2" l.call([1, 2]) # ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2) l.call(1, 2, 8) # ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 3, expected 2) l.call(1) # ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2) def test_return -> { return 3 }.call # just returns from lambda into method body proc { return 4 }.call # returns from method return 5 end test_return # => 4, return from proc
Lambdas are useful as self-sufficient functions, in particular useful as arguments to higher-order functions, behaving exactly like Ruby methods.
Procs are useful for implementing iterators:
def test [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]].map {|a, b| return a if a + b > 10 } # ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ end
Inside map
, the block of code is treated as a regular (non-lambda) proc, which means that the internal arrays will be deconstructed to pairs of arguments, and return
will exit from the method test
. That would not be possible with a stricter lambda.
You can tell a lambda from a regular proc by using the lambda?
instance method.
Lambda semantics is typically preserved during the proc lifetime, including &
-deconstruction to a block of code:
p = proc {|x, y| x } l = lambda {|x, y| x } [[1, 2], [3, 4]].map(&p) #=> [1, 3] [[1, 2], [3, 4]].map(&l) # ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)
The only exception is dynamic method definition: even if defined by passing a non-lambda proc, methods still have normal semantics of argument checking.
class C define_method(:e, &proc {}) end C.new.e(1,2) #=> ArgumentError C.new.method(:e).to_proc.lambda? #=> true
This exception ensures that methods never have unusual argument passing conventions, and makes it easy to have wrappers defining methods that behave as usual.
class C def self.def2(name, &body) define_method(name, &body) end def2(:f) {} end C.new.f(1,2) #=> ArgumentError
The wrapper def2
receives body as a non-lambda proc, yet defines a method which has normal semantics.
Conversion of other objects to procs
Any object that implements the to_proc
method can be converted into a proc by the &
operator, and therefore can be consumed by iterators.
class Greeter def initialize(greeting) @greeting = greeting end def to_proc proc {|name| "#{@greeting}, #{name}!" } end end hi = Greeter.new("Hi") hey = Greeter.new("Hey") ["Bob", "Jane"].map(&hi) #=> ["Hi, Bob!", "Hi, Jane!"] ["Bob", "Jane"].map(&hey) #=> ["Hey, Bob!", "Hey, Jane!"]
Of the Ruby core classes, this method is implemented by Symbol
, Method
, and Hash
.
:to_s.to_proc.call(1) #=> "1" [1, 2].map(&:to_s) #=> ["1", "2"] method(:puts).to_proc.call(1) # prints 1 [1, 2].each(&method(:puts)) # prints 1, 2 {test: 1}.to_proc.call(:test) #=> 1 %i[test many keys].map(&{test: 1}) #=> [1, nil, nil]
Orphaned Proc
return
and break
in a block exit a method. If a Proc
object is generated from the block and the Proc
object survives until the method is returned, return
and break
cannot work. In such case, return
and break
raises LocalJumpError
. A Proc
object in such situation is called as orphaned Proc
object.
Note that the method to exit is different for return
and break
. There is a situation that orphaned for break
but not orphaned for return
.
def m1(&b) b.call end; def m2(); m1 { return } end; m2 # ok def m1(&b) b.call end; def m2(); m1 { break } end; m2 # ok def m1(&b) b end; def m2(); m1 { return }.call end; m2 # ok def m1(&b) b end; def m2(); m1 { break }.call end; m2 # LocalJumpError def m1(&b) b end; def m2(); m1 { return } end; m2.call # LocalJumpError def m1(&b) b end; def m2(); m1 { break } end; m2.call # LocalJumpError
Since return
and break
exits the block itself in lambdas, lambdas cannot be orphaned.
Numbered parameters
Numbered parameters are implicitly defined block parameters intended to simplify writing short blocks:
# Explicit parameter: %w[test me please].each { |str| puts str.upcase } # prints TEST, ME, PLEASE (1..5).map { |i| i**2 } # => [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] # Implicit parameter: %w[test me please].each { puts _1.upcase } # prints TEST, ME, PLEASE (1..5).map { _1**2 } # => [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
Parameter names from _1
to _9
are supported:
[10, 20, 30].zip([40, 50, 60], [70, 80, 90]).map { _1 + _2 + _3 } # => [120, 150, 180]
Though, it is advised to resort to them wisely, probably limiting yourself to _1
and _2
, and to one-line blocks.
Numbered parameters can’t be used together with explicitly named ones:
[10, 20, 30].map { |x| _1**2 } # SyntaxError (ordinary parameter is defined)
To avoid conflicts, naming local variables or method arguments _1
, _2
and so on, causes a warning.
_1 = 'test' # warning: `_1' is reserved as numbered parameter
Using implicit numbered parameters affects block’s arity:
p = proc { _1 + _2 } l = lambda { _1 + _2 } p.parameters # => [[:opt, :_1], [:opt, :_2]] p.arity # => 2 l.parameters # => [[:req, :_1], [:req, :_2]] l.arity # => 2
Blocks with numbered parameters can’t be nested:
%w[test me].each { _1.each_char { p _1 } } # SyntaxError (numbered parameter is already used in outer block here) # %w[test me].each { _1.each_char { p _1 } } # ^~
Numbered parameters were introduced in Ruby 2.7.

Returns the number of mandatory arguments. If the block is declared to take no arguments, returns 0. If the block is known to take exactly n arguments, returns n.

Keyword arguments will be considered as a single additional argument, that argument being mandatory if any keyword argument is mandatory. A proc
with no argument declarations is the same as a block declaring ||

Invokes the block, setting the block’s parameters to the values in params using something close to method calling semantics. Returns the value of the last expression evaluated in the block.
a_proc = Proc.new {|scalar, *values| values.map {|value| value*scalar } } a_proc.call(9, 1, 2, 3) #=> [9, 18, 27] a_proc[9, 1, 2, 3] #=> [9, 18, 27] a_proc.(9, 1, 2, 3) #=> [9, 18, 27] a_proc.yield(9, 1, 2, 3) #=> [9, 18, 27]
Note that prc.()
invokes prc.call()
with the parameters given. It’s syntactic sugar to hide “call”.
For procs created using lambda
or ->()
an error is generated if the wrong number of parameters are passed to the proc. For procs created using Proc.new
or Kernel.proc
, extra parameters are silently discarded and missing parameters are set to nil
.

Returns a curried proc. If the optional arity argument is given, it determines the number of arguments. A curried proc receives some arguments. If a sufficient number of arguments are supplied, it passes the supplied arguments to the original proc and returns the result. Otherwise, returns another curried proc that takes the rest of arguments.
The optional arity argument should be supplied when currying procs with variable arguments to determine how many arguments are needed before the proc is called.

The lambda-ness affects argument handling and the behavior of return
and break
.
A Proc
object generated by proc
ignores extra arguments.
proc {|a,b| [a,b] }.call(1,2,3) #=> [1,2]
It provides nil
for missing arguments.
proc {|a,b| [a,b] }.call(1) #=> [1,nil]
It expands a single array argument.
proc {|a,b| [a,b] }.call([1,2]) #=> [1,2]
A Proc
object generated by lambda
doesn’t have such tricks.
lambda {|a,b| [a,b] }.call(1,2,3) #=> ArgumentError lambda {|a,b| [a,b] }.call(1) #=> ArgumentError lambda {|a,b| [a,b] }.call([1,2]) #=> ArgumentError

is a predicate for the tricks. It returns true
if no tricks apply.
lambda {}.lambda? #=> true proc {}.lambda? #=> false

A Proc
object generated by &
argument has the tricks
def n(&b) b.lambda? end n {} #=> false
The &
argument preserves the tricks if a Proc
object is given by &
argument.

A Proc
object converted from a method has no tricks.
def m() end method(:m).to_proc.lambda? #=> true n(&method(:m)) #=> true n(&method(:m).to_proc) #=> true
define_method
is treated the same as method definition. The defined method has no tricks.
class C define_method(:d) {} end C.new.d(1,2) #=> ArgumentError C.new.method(:d).to_proc.lambda? #=> true
define_method
always defines a method without the tricks, even if a non-lambda Proc
object is given. This is the only exception for which the tricks are not preserved.
class C define_method(:e, &proc {}) end C.new.e(1,2) #=> ArgumentError C.new.method(:e).to_proc.lambda? #=> true
This exception ensures that methods never have tricks and makes it easy to have wrappers to define methods that behave as usual.
class C def self.def2(name, &body) define_method(name, &body) end def2(:f) {} end C.new.f(1,2) #=> ArgumentError

Marks the proc as passing keywords through a normal argument splat. This should only be called on procs that accept an argument splat (*args
) but not explicit keywords or a keyword splat. It marks the proc such that if the proc is called with keyword arguments, the final hash argument is marked with a special flag such that if it is the final element of a normal argument splat to another method call, and that method call does not include explicit keywords or a keyword splat, the final element is interpreted as keywords. In other words, keywords will be passed through the proc to other methods.
This should only be used for procs that delegate keywords to another method, and only for backwards compatibility with Ruby versions before 2.7.
This method will probably be removed at some point, as it exists only for backwards compatibility. As it does not exist in Ruby versions before 2.7, check that the proc responds to this method before calling it. Also, be aware that if this method is removed, the behavior of the proc will change so that it does not pass through keywords.
