Ruby. (condition) ? return : next .Returning error

(1<2) ? return : next

dos.rb: dos.rb:74: Invalid next (SyntaxError)

What is the correct way to tell ruby to 'continue' in this context .

if 1 is less than 2, leave the function, else keep going

return returns from a method or lambda, next returns from a block. There is neither a method nor a lambda nor a block in your code, therefore neither return nor next are valid in your code.

You can just say:

return if (1 < 2)

You don't have to tell Ruby to "keep going" -- that's what it'll do if it doesn't return from the function!

Just use if instead of a ternary, and be sure you are in a context (such as a loop) where next is valid.
