Append the count to a variable name in ruby-CodePudding

I have the following code:

count = 0
3.times do |survey|
  count = count   1
  @psychological_safety_score_   count.to_s  = Team.get_psychological_safety_score(@team, count)
end

This gives me the error undefined method to_s= for 1:Integer

I'm also tried @psychological_safety_score_ #{count.to_S} with no luck.

The end goal is to get instance variables of psychological_safety_score_1...3

CodePudding user response：

The Ruby language itself does not allow you to compute variable names by interpolating data into them.

It is still possible to do what you want though, using instance_variable_set.

score = Team.get_psychological_safety_score(@team, count)
variable = :"@psychological_safety_score_#{count}"
instance_variable_set variable, score

Also, count is redundant. Integer#times iterates self times, yielding the current index to the block. It can be used as the count.
