Method: Enumerable#group_by

Defined in:
enum.c

#group_by {|element| ... } ⇒ Hash #group_by ⇒ Object

With a block given returns a hash:

  • Each key is a return value from the block.

  • Each value is an array of those elements for which the block returned that key.

Examples:

g = (1..6).group_by {|i| i%3 }
g # => {1=>[1, 4], 2=>[2, 5], 0=>[3, 6]}
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 0, bat: 1}
g = h.group_by {|key, value| value }
g # => {0=>[[:foo, 0], [:baz, 0]], 1=>[[:bar, 1], [:bat, 1]]}

With no block given, returns an Enumerator.

Overloads:

  • #group_by {|element| ... } ⇒ Hash

    Yields:

    • (element)

    Returns:
