你在上一节中发现 Hash 的秘密功能了吗？你可以解释给自己吗？让我来给你解释一下，顺便和你自己的理解对比看有什么不同。这里是我们要讨论的代码：
cities[:find] = method(:find_city)
puts cities[:find].call(cities, state)
你要记住一个函式也可以作为一个变量，为了要将一个代码区段储存在一个变量里，我们创造了一个东西叫「proc」，proc 是 procedure 缩写。在这段代码中，首先我们调用了 Ruby 内建的函式 method ，它会回传一个 proc 版的 find_city 函式。然后我们将之除存在一个 Hash 里 ：key 是 :find ，value 是 cities 。。这和我们将省和市关联起来的代码做的事情一样，只不过在这个情况里是个 proc。
好了，所以一旦我们知道 find_city 是在Hash中 :find 的位置，这就意味着我们可以去调用它。第二行代码可以分解成如下步骤：
- Ruby 读到了
cities，然后知道了它是一个 「Hash」。 - 然后看到了
[:find]，于是 Ruby 就从索引找到了 cities Hash 中对应的位置，并且获取了该位置的内容。 3.[:find]这个位置的内容是我们的函式find_city，所以Ruby就知道了这里表示一个函式，于是当它碰到.call就开始了 proc调用。 4.cities、state这两个参数将被传递到函式find_city中，然后这个函式就被运行了。 5.find_city接着从cities中寻找states，并且回传它找到的内容，如果什么都没找到，就返回一个信息说它什么都没找到。 - Ruby 接受
find_city传回的资讯，最后将该资讯赋值给一开始的city_found这个变量。
我再教你一个小技巧。如果你倒着阅读的话，代码可能会变得更容易理解。让我们来试一下，一样是那行：
state和city是…- 最为参数传递给…
- 一个 proc 位于…
:find然后寻找，目的地为…cities这个 Hash…- 最后印到屏幕上
还有一种方法读它，这回是「由里向外」。
- 找到表示式的中心位置，此次为
[:find]。 - 逆时针追溯，首先看到的是一个叫
cities的 Hash，这样就知道了cities中的:find元素。 - 上一步得到一个函式。继续逆时针寻找，看到的是参数。
- 参数传递给函式后，函式会传回一个值。然后再逆时针寻找。
- 最后，我们到了
city_found=的赋值位置，并且得到了最终结果。
数十年的程序经验下来，我在读代码的过程中已经用不到上面的三种方法了。我只要瞄一眼就能知道它的意思。甚至给我一整页的代码，我也可以一眼瞄 出里边的 bug 和错误。这样的技能是花了超乎常人的时间和精力才锻炼得来的。在磨练的过程中，我学会了下面三种读代码的方法：
- 从前向后。
- 从后向前。
- 逆时针方向。
现在我们来写这次的练习，写完后再过一遍，这节练习其实挺有趣的。
代码不少，不过还是从头写完吧。确认它能运行，然后玩一下看看。

加分练习
- 解释一下返回至下一个房间的运作原理。 2.建立更多的房间，让游戏规模变大。
- 除了让每个函式打印出自己以外，试试学习一下「文件注解(doc comments)」。
- 看看你能不能将房间描述写成文件注解，然后修改运行它的代码，让它把文档注解打印出来。
- 一旦你用了文件注解作为房间描述，你还需要让这个函式打出用户提示吗？试着让运行函数的代码打出用户提示来，然后将用户输入传递到各个函式。你的函式应该只是一些 if 语句组合，将结果印出来，并且返回下一个房间。
- 这其实是一个小版本的「有限状态机(finite state machine)」，找资料阅读了解一下，虽然你可能看不懂，但还是找来看看吧
