Ruby Enumerables vs Loops

What are the main differences between Ruby enumerables and loops?

Ruby enumerables are methods that allow you to iterate over collections, while loops are control structures for repeating code.

Can you give me examples of both?

Sure! An example of an enumerable is each, which iterates over an array. A loop example is while, which continues until a condition is false.

When should I use enumerables instead of loops?

Use enumerables for cleaner, more readable code, especially when working with collections. Loops are better for more complex iterations.

Are there performance differences between them?

Generally, enumerables can be more optimized for performance in Ruby, but it depends on the specific use case.
