Re: Trying to understand blocks
Blocks are special arguments to methods. You can pass blocks 3 ways*
foo { puts "bar" }
foo do
puts "bar"
end
proc = lambda { puts "bar" }
foo(&proc)
The reason for the & in the 3rd example is to tell ruby that this argument
is actually this "special" block parameter.
The yield method knows to look for this special parameter and call it.
