Is it possible to make this loop simpler?

Question

The duplication of p1, p2, p3 bugs me.

y.zip(r, q).each { |p1, p2, p3|
  puts '%5s %5s | %3s' % [p1, p2, p3]
}

Maybe there is a solution with map? Is there a way to insert the variables directly into the string rather than using this formatting?

Answer 1

Each element of the zip'd array is an array, you can just use the whole array

y.zip(r, q).each {|p| puts '%5s %5s | %3s' % p}

Answer 2

y.zip(r, q).each {|*p| puts '%5s %5s | %3s' % p}
