Turn Key And Value Arrays Into A Hash
Let's say you have an array of keys and an array of values:
keys = [:title, :author, :year]
values = ["The Fifth Season", "N. K. Jemisin", 2015]
You can turn them into a hash where the keys of that hash come from keys
and are tied in order, one-to-one with the values
.
A hash
can be created from an array of tuples, where each is a key-value pairing. Knowing this, we can zip
the two arrays together and then turn them into a hash
like so:
> Hash[keys.zip(values)]
#=> {:title=>"The Fifth Season", :author=>"N. K. Jemisin", :year=>2015}
