How can I push keys to an unsorted array? - ruby

I'm trying to create an array of the keys of an ordered hash. I want them to be listed in the same order in both the array and the hash. I have this hash.
h = { "a" => 3, "b" => 1, "c" = 4, "d" = 2 }
What I want is this array.
arr = ["b", "d", "a", "c"]
I have
h.sort_by { |k, v| v}
h.keys
but that returns the keys in alphabetical order. What can I do to keep them in the order of the sorted hash?

h.sort_by{|k,v| v} will give you [["b", 1], ["d", 2], ["a", 3], ["c", 4]], then use .map to get the key.
h.sort_by{|k,v| v}.map &:first

h = { "a" => 3, "b" => 1, "c" => 4, "d" => 2 }
p h.sort_by(&:last).map(&:first) #=> ["b", "d", "a", "c"]

You may try this also,
h = { "a" => 3, "b" => 1, "c" => 4, "d" => 2 }
Hash[h.sort_by{|k,v| v}].keys
#=> ["b", "d", "a", "c"]

This code
h.sort_by { |k,v| v}
h.keys
doesn't work because the sort_by method doesn't sort the original array, it returns a new sorted array, where each value is a (key, value) pair from the original hash:
[["b", 1], ["d", 2], ["a", 3], ["c", 4]]
If you're using Ruby 2.1.1, you can then just call to_h on the array, which will re-map the key/value pairs back into a hash:
h.sort_by { |k, v| v}.to_h.keys

Inverting a hash value (that's an array) into new individual keys

I have the following:
lumpy_hash = { 1 => ["A", "B"] }
then if I invoke Hash#invert on this hash, I'd like to get:
lumpy_hash = {"A" => 1, "B" => 1}
I don't get that from using Hash#invert. Any ideas on doing this? I'm not sure if I should try Hash#map or Hash#invert.
There are many ways to do this. Here is one:
Hash[lumpy_hash.map { |k,v| v.product([k]) }.first]
#=> {"A"=>1, "B"=>1}
I don't think the method Hash#invert is useful here.
The steps:
enum = lumpy_hash.map
#=> #<Enumerator: {1=>["A", "B"]}:map>
k,v = enum.next
#=> [1, ["A", "B"]]
k #=> 1
v #=> ["A", "B"]
a = v.product([k])
#=> ["A", "B"].product([1])
#=> [["A", 1], ["B", 1]]
Hash[a]
#=> {"A"=>1, "B"=>1}
Here's another way that makes use of a hash's default value. This one is rather interesting:
key,value = lumpy_hash.to_a.first
#=> [1, ["A","B"]]
Hash.new { |h,k| h[k]=key }.tap { |h| h.values_at(*value) }
#=> {"A"=>1,"B"=>1}
Object#tap passes an empty hash to its block, assigning it to the block variable h. The block returns h after adding three key-value pairs, each having a value equal to the hash's default value. It adds the pairs merely by computing the values of keys the hash doesn't have!
Here's another, more pedestrian, method:
lumpy_hash.flat_map{|k,vs| vs.map{|v| {v => k}}}.reduce(&:merge)
=> {"A"=>1, "B"=>1}

Sort array by other array

I have two arrays:
a = [ 1, 0, 2, 1, 0]
b = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
I want to order the b array according to a's elements values.
I can make this by merging the two arrays into a Hash and the order by key:
h = Hash[b.zip a]
=> {"a"=>1, "b"=>0, "c"=>2, "d"=>1, "e"=>0}
h2 = Hash[h.sort_by{|k, v| v}]
=> {"b"=>0, "e"=>0, "a"=>1, "d"=>1, "c"=>2}
array = h2.keys
=> ["b", "e", "a", "d", "c"]
Where there is a tie the order may be chosen arbitrary.
Is there a way (maybe more compact), I can achieve this without using the hash.
a.zip(b).sort.map(&:last)
In parts:
p a.zip(b) # => [[1, "a"], [0, "b"], [2, "c"], [1, "d"], [0, "e"]]
p a.zip(b).sort # => [[0, "b"], [0, "e"], [1, "a"], [1, "d"], [2, "c"]]
p a.zip(b).sort.map(&:last) # => ["b", "e", "a", "d", "c"]
a = [ 1, 0, 2, 1, 0]
b = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
p b.sort_by.each_with_index{|el,i| a[i]}
# => ["b", "e", "a", "d", "c"]

Convert array into a hash

I try to learn map and group_by but it's difficult...
My array of arrays :
a = [ [1, 0, "a", "b"], [1, 1, "c", "d"], [2, 0, "e", "f"], [3, 1, "g", "h"] ]
Expected result :
b= {
1=> {0=>["a", "b"], 1=>["c", "d"]} ,
2=> {0=>["e", "f"]} ,
3=> {1=>["g", "h"]}
}
Group by the first value, the second value can just be 0 or 1.
A starting :
a.group_by{ |e| e.shift}.map { |k, v| {k=>v.group_by{ |e| e.shift}} }
=> [{1=>{0=>[["a", "b"]], 1=>[["c", "d"]]}},
{2=>{0=>[["e", "f"]]}}, {3=>{1=>[["g", "h"]]}}]
I want to get "a" and "b" with the 2 first values, it's the only solution that I've found... (using a hash of hash)
Not sure if group_by is the simplest solution here:
a = [ [1, 0, "a", "b"], [1, 1, "c", "d"], [2, 0, "e", "f"], [3, 1, "g", "h"] ]
result = a.inject({}) do |acc,(a,b,c,d)|
acc[a] ||= {}
acc[a][b] = [c,d]
acc
end
puts result.inspect
Will print:
{1=>{0=>["a", "b"], 1=>["c", "d"]}, 2=>{0=>["e", "f"]}, 3=>{1=>["g", "h"]}}
Also, avoid changing the items you're operating on directly (the shift calls), the collections you could be receiving in your code might not be yours to change.
If you want a somewhat custom group_by I tend do just do it manually. group_by creates an Array of grouped values, so it creates [["a", "b"]] instead of ["a", "b"]. In addition your code is destructive, i.e. it manipulates the value of a. That is only a bad thing if you plan on re using a later on in its original form, but important to note.
As I mentioned though, you might as well just loop through a once and build the desired structure instead of doing multiple group_bys.
b = {}
a.each do |aa|
(b[aa[0]] ||= {})[aa[1]] = aa[2..3]
end
b # => {1=>{0=>["a", "b"], 1=>["c", "d"]}, 2=>{0=>["e", "f"]}, 3=>{1=>["g", "h"]}}
With (b[aa[0]] ||= {}) we check for the existence of the key aa[0] in the Hash b. If it does not exist, we assign an empty Hash ({}) to that key. Following that, we insert the last two elements of aa (= aa[2..3]) into that Hash, with aa[1] as key.
Note that this does not account for duplicate primary + secondary keys. That is, if you have another entry [1, 1, "x", "y"] it will overwrite the entry of [1, 1, "c", "d"] because they both have keys 1 and 1. You can fix that by storing the values in an Array, but then you might as well just do a double group_by. For example, with destructive behavior on a, handling "duplicates":
# Added [1, 1, "x", "y"], removed some others
a = [ [1, 0, "a", "b"], [1, 1, "c", "d"], [1, 1, "x", "y"] ]
b = Hash[a.group_by(&:shift).map { |k, v| [k, v.group_by(&:shift) ] }]
#=> {1=>{0=>[["a", "b"]], 1=>[["c", "d"], ["x", "y"]]}}
[[1, 0, "a", "b"], [1, 1, "c", "d"], [2, 0, "e", "f"], [3, 1, "g", "h"]].
group_by{ |e| e.shift }.
map{ |k, v| [k, v.inject({}) { |h, v| h[v.shift] = v; h }] }.
to_h
#=> {1=>{0=>["a", "b"], 1=>["c", "d"]}, 2=>{0=>["e", "f"]}, 3=>{1=>["g", "h"]}}
Here's how you can do it (nondestructively) with two Enumerable#group_by's and an Object#tap. The elements of a (arrays) could could vary in size and the size of each could be two or greater.
Code
def convert(arr)
h = arr.group_by(&:first)
h.keys.each { |k| h[k] = h[k].group_by { |a| a[1] }
.tap { |g| g.keys.each { |j|
g[j] = g[j].first[2..-1] } } }
h
end
Example
a = [ [1, 0, "a", "b"], [1, 1, "c", "d"], [2, 0, "e", "f"], [3, 1, "g", "h"] ]
convert(a)
#=> {1=>{0=>["a", "b"], 1=>["c", "d"]}, 2=>{0=>["e", "f"]}, 3=>{1=>["g", "h"]}}
Explanation
h = a.group_by(&:first)
#=> {1=>[[1, 0, "a", "b"], [1, 1, "c", "d"]],
# 2=>[[2, 0, "e", "f"]],
# 3=>[[3, 1, "g", "h"]]}
keys = h.keys
#=> [1, 2, 3]
The first value of keys passed into the block assigns the value 1 to the block variable k. We will set h[1] to a hash f, computed as follows.
f = h[k].group_by { |a| a[1] }
#=> [[1, 0, "a", "b"], [1, 1, "c", "d"]].group_by { |a| a[1] }
#=> {0=>[[1, 0, "a", "b"]], 1=>[[1, 1, "c", "d"]]}
We need to do further processing of this hash, so we capture it with tap and assign it to tap's block variable g (i.e., g will initially equal f above). g will be returned by the block after modification.
We have
g.keys #=> [0, 1]
so 0 is the first value passed into each's block and assigned to the block variable j. We then compute:
g[j] = g[j].first[2..-1]
#=> g[0] = [[1, 0, "a", "b"]].first[2..-1]
#=> ["a", "b"]
Similarly, when g's second key (1) is passed into the block,
g[j] = g[j].first[2..-1]
#=> g[1] = [[1, 1, "c", "d"]].first[2..-1]
#=> ["c", "d"]
Ergo,
h[1] = g
#=> {0=>["a", "b"], 1=>["c", "d"]}
h[2] and h[3] are computed similarly, giving us the desired result.

how to get the indexes of duplicating elements in a ruby array [closed]

arr = ["A", "X", "X", "D", "C", "B", "A"}
arr.detect{|e| arr.count(e) > 1}
duplicating_value_index_int_array = arr.index(<all duplicating values>)
Hi I want to get all the duplicating element's indexes from a ruby array. How may I achieve this?
duplicates = arr.each_with_index.group_by(&:first).inject({}) do |result, (val, group)|
next result if group.length == 1
result.merge val => group.map {|pair| pair[1]}
end
This will return a hash where the keys will be the duplicate elements and the values will be an array containing the index of each occurrence.
For your test input, the result is:
{"A"=>[0, 6], "X"=>[1, 2]}
If all your care about is the indices you can do duplicates.values.flatten to get an array with just the indices.
In this case: [0, 6, 1, 2]
This is quite straightforward implementation. It may be improved greatly, I think
arr = ["A", "X", "X", "D", "C", "B", "A"]
groups = arr.each.with_index.group_by{|s, idx| s}.to_a # => [["A", [["A", 0], ["A", 6]]], ["X", [["X", 1], ["X", 2]]], ["D", [["D", 3]]], ["C", [["C", 4]]], ["B", [["B", 5]]]]
repeating_groups = groups.select{|key, group| group.length > 1} # => [["A", [["A", 0], ["A", 6]]], ["X", [["X", 1], ["X", 2]]]]
locations = repeating_groups.each_with_object({}) {|(key, group), memo| memo[key] = group.map{|g| g[1]}} # => {"A"=>[0, 6], "X"=>[1, 2]}
It's not clear exactly what you want, but this code will find the indices of all elements of an array that aren't unique. It's far from efficient, but probably it doesn't need to be.
arr = %W/ A X X D C B A /
dup_indices = arr.each_index.find_all { |i| arr.count(arr[i]) > 1 }
p dup_indices
output
[0, 1, 2, 6]
I will assume a valid Ruby array arr as follows:
arr = ["A", "X", "X", "D", "C", "B", "A"]
Under this arr, and further assumption that it does not include nil:
arr.map.with_index{|e, i| i if arr.count(e) > 1}.compact
# => [0, 1, 2, 6]

Separate list items by their class or kind_of in ruby

I have two lists:
a = [1,2,3]
b = ["a","b","c"]
my list l is:
l = [a,b].flatten
so l = [1,2,3,"a","b","c"]
I'm looking for an elegant way of splitting the list by the type of the items in it, in order to have a and b restored as they were.
I could go with each item in the list and test, but that doesn't seem efficient runtime-wise nor code-wise.
You could use group_by and then pull your arrays out of the resulting Hash:
>> by_class = l.group_by(&:class)
=> {Integer=>[1, 2, 3], String=>["a", "b", "c"]}
>> a = by_class[Fixnum]
=> [1, 2, 3]
>> b = by_class[String]
=> ["a", "b", "c"]
If you know that you only have Fixnums and Strings then you could use partition:
>> a, b = *l.partition { |o| o.is_a? Fixnum }
=> [[1, 2, 3], ["a", "b", "c"]]
>> a
=> [1, 2, 3]
>> b
=> ["a", "b", "c"]
