Ruby remove nil values from array with .reject

I have an array:

scores = [ 
1,
2,
3,
"",
4
]

And I want to remove all blank values. But when I run this:

puts scores.reject(&:empty?)

I get an error:

undefined method 'empty' for 1:Fixnum

How can I remove values that are not integers from my array in a one step process? I am using Ruby 1.9.3.

It is as simple as:

scores.grep(Integer)

Note that if you plan to map the values, you can do that in a block after:

scores.grep(Integer){|x| x+1 }

Bonus if you want to do the same thing, but you numbers are strings:

scores.grep(/\d+/){|x|x.to_i}

If you want to remove blank values, you should use blank?:

scores.reject(&:blank?)
#=> [1, 2, 3, 4]

"", " ", false, nil, [], and {} are blank.

scores.select{|e| e.is_a? Integer}

scores = [1, 2, 3, "", 4, nil]
scores.reject{|s| s.to_s == ''}

scores.select{|score| score.is_a? Fixnum}
or, as Fixnum inherits from Integer, you can also go for
scores.select{|score| score.is_a? Integer)


 
 
            
  
  
This Worked for me 
  
  
scores.reject!{|x| x.to_s.empty?}
