Write a method
pyramid_sum
that takes in an array of numbers representing the base of a pyramid. The function should return a 2D array representing a complete pyramid with the given base. To construct a level of the pyramid, we take the sum of adjacent elements of the level below.
I understand that I must make a 2-D array and use adjacent addition to build the next level of the pyramid but I don't understand the basic mechanics or thinking methodology in Ruby for two-dimensional arrays. Why am I getting array and what approach do you suggest?
base = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
(base.size-1).times.with_object([base]) do |_,arr|
arr << arr.last.each_cons(2).map(&:sum)
end.reverse
#=> [
# [48]
# [20, 28],
# [8, 12, 16],
# [3, 5, 7, 9],
# [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
# ]
See Enumerable#each_cons, a lovely method.
