Render and Redirect

The normal controller/view flow is to display a view template corresponding to the current controller action, but sometimes we want to change that. We use render in a controller when we want to respond within the current request, and redirect_to when we want to spawn a new request.

Render

The render method is very overloaded in Rails. Most developers encounter it within the view template, using render :partial => 'form' or render @post.comments, but here we'll focus on usage within the controller.

sorted = values.sort

percentile = 0.80
num_vals = (percentile * sorted.count).ceil

puts "Values within the #{(percentile * 100).to_i}th percentile: #{sorted[0, num_vals]}"
