Calls the block with successive elements as long as the block returns a truthy value; returns an array of all elements up to that point:
Example
(1..4).take_while{|i| i < 3 } # => [1, 2] h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.take_while{|element| key, value = *element; value < 2 } # => [[:foo, 0], [:bar, 1]]
With no block given, returns an Enumerator.
