Overview
Product generates a Cartesian product of any number of enumerable objects.  Iterating over the product of enumerable objects is roughly equivalent to nested each_entry loops where the loop for the rightmost object is put innermost.
innings = Enumerator::Product.new(1..9, ['top', 'bottom'])
innings.each do |i, h|
  p [i, h]
end
# [1, "top"]
# [1, "bottom"]
# [2, "top"]
# [2, "bottom"]
# [3, "top"]
# [3, "bottom"]
# ...
# [9, "top"]
# [9, "bottom"]The method used against each enumerable object is each_entry instead of #each so that the product of N enumerable objects yields an array of exactly N elements in each iteration.
When no enumerator is given, it calls a given block once yielding an empty argument list.
This type of objects can be created by product.

Instance Method Summary
::Enumerator - Inherited
| #+ | Returns an enumerator object generated from this enumerator and a given enumerable. | 
| #each | Iterates over the block according to how this  | 
| #each_with_index | Same as #with_index(0), i.e. there is no starting offset. | 
| #each_with_object | Alias for #with_object. | 
| #feed | Sets the value to be returned by the next yield inside  | 
| #inspect | Creates a printable version of e. | 
| #next | Returns the next object in the enumerator, and move the internal position forward. | 
| #next_values | Returns the next object as an array in the enumerator, and move the internal position forward. | 
| #peek | Returns the next object in the enumerator, but doesn’t move the internal position forward. | 
| #peek_values | Returns the next object as an array, similar to #next_values, but doesn’t move the internal position forward. | 
| #rewind | Rewinds the enumeration sequence to the beginning. | 
| #size | Returns the size of the enumerator, or  | 
| #with_index | Iterates the given block for each element with an index, which starts from  | 
| #with_object | Iterates the given block for each element with an arbitrary object,  | 
| #initialize_copy | |
