reject!{|p| p == self}

Is there a better way to write that?

Whoa! Mind slightly blown here. So we have a container, and we iterate through the container and reject elements of the container that are the entire container itself (and then set the container to the new container-less result).

I suppose that's possible, e.g.

a = []
a[0] = a
a # => [[...]]
def a.remove_self; reject! { |p| p == self }; end
a.remove_self
a # => []

Oh, to answer your question, I don't know of a demonstrably better way to write that line.

Oops, I wasn't really calling reject on self in the code I was working on, but that's the question I posed here, wasn't it? :P

I was just wondering if there was a more elegant way to write that block that I didn't know about.

Thanks Jim!
