Given an Array with some words in it, loop through the Array to display the number of characters in each word.
friends = ["Dan", "Mindy", "Suhasini", "Ryan"]

If you're looking to return an array with length displayed, the following would work:
friends = ["Dan", "Mindy", "Suhasini", "Ryan"]
p friends.map { |friend| friend.length }

You can display the number of characters using an array as following.
friends = ["Dan", "Mindy", "Suhasini", "Ryan"]
def count_char(friends)
count = 0
friends.each do |word|
count = word.length
puts "'#{word}' has #{count} character(s)"
end
end
count_char(friends)
=>
'Dan' has 3 character(s)
'Mindy' has 5 character(s)
'Suhasini' has 8 character(s)
'Ryan' has 4 character(s)

How do I swap an(example) array's second and third elements? I tried the following
def swap_elements(array)
array = ["blake", "ashley", "scott"]
array[1], array[2] = array[2], array[1]
end
but I get
: ["scott", "ashley"]
I lost the first[0] element
There are many ways to do this - this is a functional approach that doesn't mutate the original array:
def swap_elements(array)
# yields the array to the block
array.then do |first, *rest| # deconstruct the array
rest.reverse # swap the places of 2 & 3
.unshift(first) # put the first back in
end
end

What does it mean in MATLAB when I do:
array = array (1:number)
and what does it mean:
array = array(indexes_array)
and finally, what does it mean:
array = array(indexes_array,:)
Answers, according to MATLAB docs:
1)
array = array (1:number)
The colon notation in MATLAB provides an easy way to extract a range of elements from v:
v(3:7) % Extract the third through the seventh elements
ans =
9 4 2 11 7
2)
array = array(indexes_array)
array is reorganized according to indexes_array order, assuming that indexes_array is composed of indexes.
3)
array = array(indexes_array,:)
just the same as number 1), array is reorganized according to all the rows of indexes_array, ignoring the columns.

How to extract the rows of all the fields of a structure and store it to another structure.
I'm not entirely sure from you explanation if this is what you want. The following code will copy the fields from in S into K for just the rows where the items are < 0.8
S.a=rand(100,3);
S.b=rand(100,3);
S.c=rand(100,3);
S.d=rand(100,3);
K = [];
for field = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
I = rand(length(S.(field)), 1) < 0.8;
K.(field) = S.(field)(I,:);
end

Given an array of letters:
#recipients_list = ["Mum and Dad", "my best friend", "Brother"]
# > Here are the letters available to ship, select one by number
# > 1. Mum and Dad
# > 2. My best friend
# > 3. Brother
As a user I then enter 3 (notice that Brother in this case is the recipient name). My code:
x = #recipient_list.each_with_index do |value, i|
index_start = i + 1
puts "#{index_start}.#{value}"
end
input = gets.chomp.to_i
puts x.at(input)
How to get brother value from array when user press 3? Anyone can help?
You have to use puts x.at(input - 1) because of Ruby arrays' indexing starts with 0

I have 2 arrays of strings as under. I want to compare them and execute some code if these arrays are not equal-
current_instances = ["170601_7711", "170601_8811"]
app_instances = ["170602_7711", "170602_8811"]
How can I compare them in ruby?
x = ["alpha1", "beta1"]
y = ["alpha2", "beta2"]
Check if all elements are the same
x == y #=> false
Compare each element
Compare each string at some index i, assuming both arrays are the same size. Then apply some code to the matches.
x.zip(y) #=> [["alpha1", "alpha2"], ["beta1", "beta2"]]
x.zip(y).map {|a,b| a == b ? 'do this' : 'else do this' }
#=> ["else do this", "else do this"]
Perhaps you can do an array difference with the - operator and execute your code if the difference is zero
arr_diff = current_instances - app_instances
This is the simplest solution I could think of :)
Check my solution and let me know how it goes
