Is there an "in" operator in ruby?

Given these declarations:

  a = [*1..10]
  b = [2,4,6,8]

You can do this:

  c = a.select {|i| b.include?(i) }
  c.each {|i| puts i}

Or this:

  a.each {|i| puts i if b.include?(i) }

Or this:

  (a & b).each {|i| puts i }

Subject: Is there an "in" operator in ruby ?

Hi all,

I want to do this manipulation. I have an array say @test=[2,4,6,8].
How can i compare a given number against the values which are present in
this array? ie.

In a for loop i will be Iterating through a sequence of number say 1 to
10, and i want to take each of these number 1 to 10 and check if this
number is present in the given array @test, if it is present then i want
to execute some sequence of steps, How can i do this check in ruby ?

Is there a kind of "in" operator in ruby ?

Thank You
Dinesh
