Excellent use of network.shows :)

If you have an array where you want to do something to each element, I'd rather you limit your collection first, rather than loop over everything and selectively do something. It will lead to blocks that you can reuse and extract to methods, and it reads your intent easier.

network.shows.eachdo |show|
putsshowifshow.day_of_week.downcase == day_of_weekend

vs

network.shows.select{ |show| show.day_of_week.downcase == day_of_week}.eachdo |show|
putsshowend

That makes a ton of sense. Thanks!

Would you recommend assigning network.shows.select{ |show| show.day_of_week.downcase == day_of_week } to a variable for readability? That line is 87 chars.

Yes, that would work. Or you can have a method:

deffor_day_of_week(shows,day)shows.select{ |show| show.day.downcase == day}endfor_day_of_week(network.shows,day_of_week).eachdo |show|
putsshowend

And, we could get even fancier with the last. The naming "for_day_of_week" could be "each_day_of_week", implying we give it a block (though it is fairly advanced, and you'd only do this if you needed to re-use each_day_of_week)

defeach_day_of_week(shows,day)shows.select{ |show| show.day.downcase == day}.eachdo |show|
yieldshowendendeach_day_of_week(network.shows,day_of_week)do |show|
putsshowend

Dont think you need to keep this, right?
