When should I use Procs instead of Lambdas in Ruby?

Can you explain the difference between Procs and Lambdas in Ruby?

Sure! Procs and Lambdas are both ways to define blocks of code in Ruby, but they have some key differences.

What are the main differences in how they handle arguments?

Procs do not enforce the number of arguments, while Lambdas do. If you pass the wrong number of arguments to a Lambda, it will raise an error.

Are there any differences in how they return values?

Yes! A return statement in a Proc will exit the enclosing method, while in a Lambda, it will only exit the Lambda itself.

So when should I use one over the other?

Use Lambdas when you need strict argument checking and want to return from the Lambda only. Use Procs for more flexibility.
