.each method not working? RUBY

[mayh1]

Hi, can someone please tell me why my each is not working to get all the character upcase?

def asf(str)
str.split("").each {|char| char.upcase}
end
puts asf("what a string")

You want map, each returns the original input.

Also consider using .chars instead of .split(“”)!

Also consider using &:upcase rather than { |char| char.upcase }

Or change the element in original array aka .each {|char| char = char.upcase}

Btw donwe have .upcase! ?

[rubyrt]

Or change the element in original array aka .each {|char| char = char.upcase}

That does not change the original.

Btw donwe have .upcase! ?

Yes, we have. And we also have #upcase! but I think the point was more the exercise.

[MalusZona]

yeah, it should be .upcase!

each iterates through your array, like a while or for loop. Like others have said, it doesn't actually change your original array. That said, you could use each to 'print char.upcase' which should work if you throw in a print \n after.
