Ruby Array Exercises: Compute the sum of two arrays and return the array which has the largest sum

Last update on December 21 2024 10:15:21 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Ruby program to compute the sum of two arrays (length 3) and return the array which has the largest sum.

Ruby Code:

def check_array(a, b)
    sum = (a[0]+a[1]+a[2])-(b[0]+b[1]+b[2])
	if(sum >= 0)
		return a
	end
	return b
end
print check_array([1, 3, 5], [2, 4, 4]),"\n"
print check_array([11, 3, 5], [21, 0, -4]),"\n"  

Output:

[2, 4, 4]
[11, 3, 5]

Previous: Write a Ruby program to set 5 to 1 if there is a 3 immediately followed by a 4 in a given array of integers (length 3).
Next: Write a Ruby program to create a new array of length 2 containing the middle two elements from an given array of integers of even length 2 or more.
