Class: Hash
Overview
A Hash
is a collection of key-value pairs. It is similar to an Array
, except that indexing is done via arbitrary keys of any object type, not an integer index. Hashes enumerate their values in the order that the corresponding keys were inserted.
Hashes have a default value that is returned when accessing keys that do not exist in the hash. By default, that value is nil
.

Constructor Details
#new ⇒ Object #new(obj) ⇒ Object #new {|hash, key| ... } ⇒ Object
Returns a new, empty hash. If this hash is subsequently accessed by a key that doesn't correspond to a hash entry, the value returned depends on the style of new
used to create the hash. In the first form, the access returns nil
. If obj is specified, this single object will be used for all default values. If a block is specified, it will be called with the hash object and the key, and should return the default value. It is the block's responsibility to store the value in the hash if required.

Class Method Details
.[](key, value, ...) ⇒ Object .[]([ [key, value)) ⇒ Object .[](object) ⇒ Object
Creates a new hash populated with the given objects. Equivalent to the literal { key => value, ... }
. In the first form, keys and values occur in pairs, so there must be an even number of arguments. The second and third form take a single argument which is either an array of key-value pairs or an object convertible to a hash.

Returns a value from the hash for the given key. If the key can't be found, there are several options: With no other arguments, it will raise an KeyError
exception; if default is given, then that will be returned; if the optional code block is specified, then that will be run and its result returned.
