class Spruz::Generator


g.select { |a, b| %w[a c].include? b } # => [[1, “a”], [1, “c”], [2, “a”], [2, “c”]]
Enumerable.instance_methods can be used as well:
and Spruz::Generator includes the Enumerable module, so
g.each { |a, b| puts “#{a} #{b}” }
The ‘each’ method can be used to iterate over the tuples
g.to_a # => [[1, “a”], [1, “b”], [1, “c”], [2, “a”], [2, “b”], [2, “c”]]
produces
g = Spruz::Generator[1..2, %w[a b c]]
The generator
would be created by as many for-loops as dimensions were given.
This class can create generator objects, that can produce all tuples, that

def self.[](*enums)

Create a new Generator object from the enumberables _enums_.

to respond to the _iterator_ method (defaults to :each).
Add another dimension to this generator. _enum_ is an object, that ought

  @enums << enum
  @iterators << iterator
  @n += 1

:yield: tuple
Iterate over all tuples produced by this generator and yield to them.

def size

Return the size of this generator, that is the number of its dimensions.
