How to store ruby code blocks
There are many ways to do this in Ruby, one of which is to use a Proc:
foo = Proc.new do |test| puts testend3.upto(8) { foo.call("hello world") }Read more about Procs:

Update, the above method could be rewritten as follows:
# using lower-case **proc** syntax, all on one linefoo = proc { |test| puts test }3.upto(8) { foo.call("hello world") }# using lambda, just switch the method name from proc to lambdabar = lambda { |test| puts test }3.upto(8) { bar.call("hello world") } They're basically very similar methods, with subtle differences.
And finally, there are probably more elegant ways to do what I've outlined, be good to hear from anyone with a better way. Hope this helps.
