Method: Hash#dig

Defined in:
hash.c

#dig(key, ...) ⇒ Object

Extracts the nested value specified by the sequence of key objects by calling dig at each step, returning nil if any intermediate step is nil.

h = { foo: {bar: {baz: 1}}}

h.dig(:foo, :bar, :baz)     #=> 1
h.dig(:foo, :zot, :xyz)     #=> nil

g = { foo: [10, 11, 12] }
g.dig(:foo, 1)              #=> 11
g.dig(:foo, 1, 0)           #=> TypeError: Integer does not have #dig method
g.dig(:foo, :bar)           #=> TypeError: no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer

Returns:
