module Enumerable
  # Collect an enumerable into sets, grouped by the result of a block. Useful,
  # for example, for grouping records by date.
  #
  # e.g. 
  #
  #   latest_transcripts.group_by(&:day).each do |day, transcripts| 
  #     p "#{day} -> #{transcripts.map(&:class) * ', '}"
  #   end
  #   "2006-03-01 -> Transcript"
  #   "2006-02-28 -> Transcript"
  #   "2006-02-27 -> Transcript, Transcript"
  #   "2006-02-26 -> Transcript, Transcript"
  #   "2006-02-25 -> Transcript"
  #   "2006-02-24 -> Transcript, Transcript"
  #   "2006-02-23 -> Transcript"

    inject({}) do |groups, element|
      (groups[yield(element)] ||= []) << element

  # Calculates a sum from the elements. Examples:
  #
  #  payments.sum { |p| p.price * p.tax_rate }
  #  payments.sum(&:price)
  #
  # This is instead of payments.inject { |sum, p| sum + p.price }
  #
  # Also calculates sums without the use of a block:
  #   [5, 15, 10].sum # => 30
  #
  # The default identity (sum of an empty list) is zero. 
  # However, you can override this default:
  #
  # [].sum(Payment.new(0)) { |i| i.amount } # => Payment.new(0)
  #
  def sum(identity = 0, &block)
    return identity unless size > 0

      map(&block).sum
    else
      inject { |sum, element| sum + element }
    end
  end

  # Convert an enumerable to a hash. Examples:
  # 
  #   people.index_by(&:login)
  #     => { "nextangle" => <Person ...>, "chade-" => <Person ...>, ...}
  #   people.index_by { |person| "#{person.first_name} #{person.last_name}" }
  #     => { "Chade- Fowlersburg-e" => <Person ...>, "David Heinemeier Hansson" => <Person ...>, ...}
