How can you combine multiple guard clauses to check for nil or empty input before processing?
def process(input)
  # guard clauses here
  "Processed #{input}"
end
Areturn nil unless input.nil? return nil unless input.empty?
Breturn nil if input.nil? || input.empty?
Creturn nil unless input.nil? || input.empty?
Dreturn nil if input.nil? && input.empty?
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand combined condition

    We want to return nil if input is either nil OR empty.
  2. Step 2: Analyze options

    return nil if input.nil? || input.empty? uses 'return nil if input.nil? || input.empty?' which correctly combines conditions with OR.
  3. Final Answer:

    return nil if input.nil? || input.empty? -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Use '||' to combine multiple guard clause conditions [OK]
Quick Trick: Combine conditions with '||' for multiple guard checks [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using '&&' instead of '||'
  • Writing separate guard clauses unnecessarily
  • Using 'unless' with combined conditions incorrectly
