A Hash maps each of its unique keys to a specific value.
A Hash has certain similarities to an Array, but:
An Array index is always an Integer.
A Hash key can be (almost) any object.
The older syntax for Hash data uses the âhash rocket,â =>:
h = {:foo => 0, :bar => 1, :baz => 2}
h
Alternatively, but only for a Hash key that's a Symbol, you can use a newer JSON-style syntax, where each bareword becomes a Symbol:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h
You can also use a String in place of a bareword:
h = {'foo': 0, 'bar': 1, 'baz': 2}
h
And you can mix the styles:
h = {foo: 0, :bar => 1, 'baz': 2}
h
But it's an error to try the JSON-style syntax for a key that's not a bareword or a String:
# Raises SyntaxError (syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting =>):
h = {0: 'zero'}Common Uses¶ ↑
You can use a Hash to give names to objects:
person = {name: 'Matz', language: 'Ruby'}
person
You can use a Hash to give names to method arguments:
def some_method(hash)
p hash
end
some_method({foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2})
Note: when the last argument in a method call is a Hash, the curly braces may be omitted:
some_method(foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2)
You can use a Hash to initialize an object:
class Dev
attr_accessor :name, :language
def initialize(hash)
self.name = hash[:name]
self.language = hash[:language]
end
end
matz = Dev.new(name: 'Matz', language: 'Ruby')
matz
Creating a Hash¶ ↑
Here are three ways to create a Hash:
Method Hash.new
Method Hash[]
Literal form: {}.
You can create a Hash by calling method Hash.new.
Create an empty Hash:
h = Hash.new h h.class
You can create a Hash by calling method Hash.[].
Create an empty Hash:
h = Hash[] h
Create a Hash with initial entries:
h = Hash[foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2] h
You can create a Hash by using its literal form (curly braces).
Create an empty Hash:
h = {}
h
Create a Hash with initial entries:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h
Hash Value Basics¶ ↑
The simplest way to retrieve a Hash value (instance method []):
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h[:foo]
The simplest way to create or update a Hash value (instance method []=):
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h[:bat] = 3
h
h[:foo] = 4
h
The simplest way to delete a Hash entry (instance method delete):
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h.delete(:bar)
h
Entry Order¶ ↑
A Hash object presents its entries in the order of their creation. This is seen in:
Iterative methods such as each, each_key, each_pair, each_value.
Other order-sensitive methods such as shift, keys, values.
The String returned by method inspect.
A new Hash has its initial ordering per the given entries:
h = Hash[foo: 0, bar: 1] h
New entries are added at the end:
h[:baz] = 2 h
Updating a value does not affect the order:
h[:baz] = 3 h
But re-creating a deleted entry can affect the order:
h.delete(:foo) h[:foo] = 5 hHash Keys¶ ↑ Hash Key Equivalence¶ ↑
Two objects are treated as the same hash key when their hash value is identical and the two objects are eql? to each other.
Modifying a Hash key while it is in use damages the hash's index.
This Hash has keys that are Arrays:
a0 = [ :foo, :bar ]
a1 = [ :baz, :bat ]
h = {a0 => 0, a1 => 1}
h.include?(a0)
h[a0]
a0.hash
Modifying array element a0[0] changes its hash value:
a0[0] = :bam a0.hash
And damages the Hash index:
h.include?(a0) h[a0]
You can repair the hash index using method rehash:
h.rehash h.include?(a0) h[a0]
A String key is always safe. That's because an unfrozen String passed as a key will be replaced by a duplicated and frozen String:
s = 'foo'
s.frozen?
h = {s => 0}
first_key = h.keys.first
first_key.frozen?
User-Defined Hash Keys¶ ↑
To be useable as a Hash key, objects must implement the methods hash and eql?. Note: this requirement does not apply if the Hash uses compare_by_id since comparison will then rely on the keys' object id instead of hash and eql?.
Object defines basic implementation for hash and eq? that makes each object a distinct key. Typically, user-defined classes will want to override these methods to provide meaningful behavior, or for example inherit Struct that has useful definitions for these.
A typical implementation of hash is based on the object's data while eql? is usually aliased to the overridden == method:
class Book
attr_reader :author, :title
def initialize(author, title)
@author = author
@title = title
end
def ==(other)
self.class === other &&
other.author == @author &&
other.title == @title
end
alias eql? ==
def hash
@author.hash ^ @title.hash
end
end
book1 = Book.new 'matz', 'Ruby in a Nutshell'
book2 = Book.new 'matz', 'Ruby in a Nutshell'
reviews = {}
reviews[book1] = 'Great reference!'
reviews[book2] = 'Nice and compact!'
reviews.length
Default Values¶ ↑
The methods [], values_at and dig need to return the value associated to a certain key. When that key is not found, that value will be determined by its default proc (if any) or else its default (initially `nil`).
You can retrieve the default value with method default:
h = Hash.new h.default
You can set the default value by passing an argument to method Hash.new or with method default=
h = Hash.new(-1) h.default h.default = 0 h.default
This default value is returned for [], values_at and dig when a key is not found:
counts = {foo: 42}
counts.default
counts[:foo] = 42
counts[:bar]
counts.default = 0
counts[:bar]
counts.values_at(:foo, :bar, :baz)
counts.dig(:bar)
Note that the default value is used without being duplicated. It is not advised to set the default value to a mutable object:
synonyms = Hash.new([]) synonyms[:hello] synonyms[:hello] << :hi synonyms.default synonyms[:world] << :universe synonyms[:world] synonyms.keys
To use a mutable object as default, it is recommended to use a default proc
Default Proc¶ ↑When the default proc for a Hash is set (i.e., not nil), the default value returned by method [] is determined by the default proc alone.
You can retrieve the default proc with method default_proc:
h = Hash.new h.default_proc
You can set the default proc by calling Hash.new with a block or calling the method default_proc=
h = Hash.new { |hash, key| "Default value for #{key}" }
h.default_proc.class
h.default_proc = proc { |hash, key| "Default value for #{key.inspect}" }
h.default_proc.class
When the default proc is set (i.e., not nil) and method [] is called with with a non-existent key, [] calls the default proc with both the Hash object itself and the missing key, then returns the proc's return value:
h = Hash.new { |hash, key| "Default value for #{key}" }
h[:nosuch]
Note that in the example above no entry for key :nosuch is created:
h.include?(:nosuch)
However, the proc itself can add a new entry:
synonyms = Hash.new { |hash, key| hash[key] = [] }
synonyms.include?(:hello)
synonyms[:hello] << :hi
synonyms[:world] << :universe
synonyms.keys
Note that setting the default proc will clear the default value and vice versa.
Public Class MethodsHash[] → new_empty_hash click to toggle source
Hash[hash] → new_hash
Hash[ [*2_element_arrays] ] → new_hash
Hash[*objects] → new_hash
Returns a new Hash object populated with the given objects, if any. See Hash::new.
With no argument, returns a new empty Hash.
When the single given argument is a Hash, returns a new Hash populated with the entries from the given Hash.
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
Hash[h]
When the single given argument is an Array of 2-element Arrays, returns a new Hash object wherein each 2-element array forms a key-value entry:
Hash[ [ [:foo, 0], [:bar, 1] ] ]
When the argument count is an even number; returns a new Hash object wherein each successive pair of arguments has become a key-value entry:
Hash[:foo, 0, :bar, 1]
Raises an exception if the argument list does not conform to any of the above.

Merges each of other_hashes into self; returns self.
Each argument in other_hashes must be a Hash.
Method update is an alias for #merge!.
With arguments and no block:
Returns self, after the given hashes are merged into it.
The given hashes are merged left to right.
Each new entry is added at the end.
Each duplicate-key entry's value overwrites the previous value.

h2 = {bam: 5, bat:6}
h.merge!(h1, h2)
With arguments and a block:
Returns self, after the given hashes are merged.
The given hashes are merged left to right.
Each new-key entry is added at the end.
For each duplicate key:
Calls the block with the key and the old and new values.
The block's return value becomes the new value for the entry.
Example:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
