Fastest method to see if all elements in an array have a particular value
require 'benchmark'
n = 50000
Benchmark.bm do |x|
x.report "uniq " do
n.times do
input = [9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9]
input.uniq == [9]
end
end
x.report "delete" do
n.times do
input = [9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9]
input.delete 9
input == []
end
end
x.report "count " do
n.times do
input = [9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9]
input.count(9)==input.size
end
end
x.report "select" do
n.times do
input = [9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9]
input.select{|x| x != 9}.empty?
end
end
x.report "detect" do
n.times do
input = [9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9]
input.detect { |i| i != 9 }.nil?
end
end
x.report "all? " do
n.times do
input = [9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9]
input.all?{|x| x == 9}
end
end
end
it a benchmark for the answers above and some mine

You have a few options:
>> input.count(9)==input.size
=> true
or
>> input.select{|x| x != 9}.empty?
=> true
or the solution you had above.
