Ruby how to write a consecutive division -

how write method achieve function efficiently?

divide_array([a,b,c]) # return a.to_f / b.to_f / c.to_f divide_array([a,b,c,d,e]) # return a.to_f / b.to_f / c.to_f / d.to_f / d.to_f 

here can image

def divide_array(array)   return false if array.include?(0)   result = 0   array.each_with_index |i, index|     break if index >= array.size - 1     result = i.to_f / array[index + 1].to_f   end    result end 

but thought ruby elegant language, must better , efficient way achieve that. (maybe reduce or inject?)

inject (or reduce) indeed, to_f , division can done in 1 go fdiv:

[3,2,1].inject(:fdiv)  #=> 1.5 

more precise converting rationals, , convert float late possible. demo:

[3,5,6].map(&:to_f).inject(:/)    # => 0.09999999999999999 [3,5,6].map(&:to_r).inject(:/).to_f # =>  0.1 

as sagarpandya82 comments (and new me), conversion rational , division can done in 1 go, culminating in:

[3,5,6].inject(:quo).to_f #=> 0.1
