I miss a Hash
method in Ruby to transform/map only the values of the hash.
h = { 1 => [9,2,3,4], 2 => [6], 3 => [5,7,1] }
h.map_values { |v| v.size }
#=> { 1 => 4, 2 => 1, 3 => 3 }
How do you archive this in Ruby?
Update: I'm looking for an implementation of map_values()
.
# more examples
h.map_values { |v| v.reduce(0, :+) }
#=> { 1 => 18, 2 => 6, 3 => 13 }
h.map_values(&:min)
#=> { 1 => 2, 2 => 6, 3 => 1 }
In Ruby, the values in a hash can be accessed using bracket notation. After the hash name, type the key in square brackets in order to access the value.
A particular value can be checked to see if it exists in a certain hash by using the has_value?() method. This method returns true if such a value exists, otherwise false .
Equality—Two hashes are equal if they each contain the same number of keys and if each key-value pair is equal to (according to Object#== ) the corresponding elements in the other hash. The orders of each hashes are not compared. Returns true if other is subset of hash.
Ruby 2.4 introduced the methods Hash#transform_values
and Hash#transform_values!
with the desired behavoir.
h = { 1=>[9, 2, 3, 4], 2=>[6], 3=>[5, 7, 1] }
h.transform_values { |e| e.size }
#=> {1=>4, 2=>1, 3=>3}
