(0..x) forms a range object which can be rather useful. If you don't
like that, you can try 0.upto(x), which is less compact but maybe will
look better for you? I don't know anything offhand for a cartiesian
product, but it wouldn't be that difficult to write such a method that
yielded to a block.

Ruby makes extending classes easy...


class Numeric
def sqrt
Math.sqrt(self)
end
end

3.sqrt
