Ruby - Array multiplication or JOIN operation - ruby

I have two arrays,
a = [1, 2]
b = [:a]
I want to get the result as
[[1, :a], [2, :a]]
Is there any methods for this?

Use the Array#product:
a = [1, 2]
b = [:a]
a.product(b)
=> [[1, :a], [2, :a]]

Also you can do it this way
[a,b*a.size].transpose
#=> [[1, :a], [2, :a]]

Ruby, remove super-arrays

If I have an array of arrays, A, and want to get rid of all arrays in A who also have a sub-array in A, how would I do that. In this context, array_1 is a sub-array of array_2 if array_1 - array_2 = []. In the case that multiple arrays are simply rearranged versions of the same elements, bonus points if you can get rid of all but one of them, but you can handle this however you want if it's easier.
In python, I could easily use comprehension, with A being a set of frozen sets :
A = {a for a in A if all(b-a for b in A-{a})}
Is there a simple way to write this in ruby? I don't care if the order of A or it's arrays are preserved at all. Also, in my program, none of the arrays have duplicate elements, if that makes things any easier/faster.
Example
A = [[1,6],[1,2],[2,4],[3,5],[1,3,6],[2,3,6]]
# [1,6] is a subarray of [1,3,6], so [1,3,6] should be removed
remove_super_arrays(A)
> A = [[1,6],[1,2],[2,4],[3,5],[2,3,6]]
A = [[1,2,4],[2,3,4],[1,4,5],[2,6]]
# although there is overlap, there are no subarrays, so nothing should be removed
remove_super_arrays(A)
> A = [[1,2,4],[2,3,4],[1,4,5],[2,6]]
A = [[1],[2,1,3],[2,4],[1,4]]
# [1] is a subarray of [2,1,3] and [1,4]
remove_super_arrays(A)
> A = [[1],[2,4]]
Code
def remove_super_arrays(arr)
order = arr.each_with_index.to_a.to_h
arr.sort_by(&:size).reject.with_index do |a,i|
arr[0,i].any? { |aa| (aa.size < a.size) && (aa-a).empty? }
end.sort_by { |a| order[a] }
end
Examples
remove_super_arrays([[1,6],[1,2],[2,4],[3,5],[1,3,6],[2,3,6]] )
#=> [[1,6],[1,2],[2,4],[3,5],[2,3,6]]
remove_super_arrays([[1,2,4],[2,3,4],[1,4,5],[2,6]])
#=> [[1,2,4],[2,3,4],[1,4,5],[2,6]]
remove_super_arrays([[1],[2,1,3],[2,4],[1,4]])
#=> [[1],[2,4]]
Explanation
Consider the first example.
arr = [[1,6],[1,2],[2,4],[3,5],[1,3,6],[2,3,6]]
We first save the positions of the elements of a
order = arr.each_with_index.to_a.to_h # save original order
#=> {[1, 6]=>0, [1, 2]=>1, [2, 4]=>2, [3, 5]=>3, [1, 3, 6]=>4, [2, 3, 6]=>5}
Then reject elements of arr:
b = arr.sort_by(&:size)
#=> [[1, 6], [1, 2], [2, 4], [3, 5], [1, 3, 6], [2, 3, 6]]
c = b.reject.with_index do |a,i|
arr[0,i].any? { |aa| (aa.size < a.size) && (aa-a).empty? }
end
#=> [[1, 6], [1, 2], [2, 4], [3, 5], [2, 3, 6]]
Lastly, reorder c to correspond to the original ordering of the elements of arr.
c.sort_by { |a| order[a] }
#=> [[1, 6], [1, 2], [2, 4], [3, 5], [2, 3, 6]]
which in this case happens to be the same order as the elements of c.
Let's look more carefully at the calculation of c:
enum1 = b.reject
#=> #<Enumerator: [[1, 6], [1, 2], [2, 4], [3, 5], [1, 3, 6],
# [2, 3, 6]]:reject>
enum2 = enum1.with_index
#=> #<Enumerator: #<Enumerator: [[1, 6], [1, 2], [2, 4], [3, 5],
# [1, 3, 6], [2, 3, 6]]:reject>:with_index>
The first element is generated by the enumerator enum2 and passed to the block and assigned as values of the block variables:
a, i = enum2.next
#=> [[1, 6], 0]
a #=> [1, 6]
i #=> 0
The block calculation is then performed:
d = arr[0,i]
#=> []
d.any? { |aa| (aa.size < a.size) && (aa-a).empty? }
#=> false
so a[0] is not rejected. The next pair passed to the block by enum2 is [[1, 2], 1]. That value is retained as well, but let's skip ahead to the last element passed to the block by enum2:
a, i = enum2.next
#=> [[1, 2], 1]
a, i = enum2.next
#=> [[2, 4], 2]
a, i = enum2.next
#=> [[3, 5], 3]
a, i = enum2.next
#=> [[1, 3, 6], 4]
a #=> [1, 3, 6]
i #=> 4
Perform the block calculation:
d = arr[0,i]
#=> [[1, 6], [1, 2], [2, 4], [3, 5]]
d.any? { |aa| (aa.size < a.size) && (aa-a).empty? }
#=> true
As true is returned, a is rejected. In the last calculation the first element of d is passed to the block and the following calculation is performed:
aa = [1, 6]
(aa.size < a.size)
#=> 2 < 3 => true
(aa-a).empty?
#=> ([1, 6] - [1, 3, 6]).empty? => [].empty? => true
As true && true #=> true, a ([1, 3, 6]) is rejected.
Alternative calculation
The following is a closer match to the OP's Python equivalent, but less efficient:
def remove_super_arrays(arr)
arr.select do |a|
(arr-[a]).all? { |aa| aa.size > a.size || (aa-a).any? }
end
end
or
def remove_super_arrays(arr)
arr.reject do |a|
(arr-[a]).any? { |aa| (aa.size < a.size) && (aa-a).empty? }
end
end
This was a nice exercise for me. I have used the logic from here.
My code iterates over each subarray (except the first), then there is the magic substraction using the first index, when it is empty the other array contained both numbers.
def remove_super_arrays(arr)
arr.each_with_index.with_object([]) do |(sub_array, index), result|
next if index == 0
result << sub_array unless (arr.first - sub_array).empty?
end.unshift(arr.first)
end
arr = [[1,6],[1,2],[2,4],[3,5],[1,3,6],[2,3,6]]
p remove_super_arrays(arr)
#=> [[1, 6], [1, 2], [2, 4], [3, 5], [2, 3, 6]]

Ruby extract subarray from integer

I need to extract part of an array based on an integer and if there are no enough values, fill this array with specifics values if the array size doesn't feet with this integer.
As example :
I have an array like that:
[[1,2], [2,1], [3,3]]
If my integer is 2 I need this :
[[1,2], [2,1]]
If my integer is 4 I need this :
[[1,2], [2,1], [3,3], [nil, nil]]
You can do the same using Fixnum#times methos:
a = [[1,2], [2,1], [3,3]]
def extract_sub_array array, size
size.times.map { |i| array.fetch(i, [nil, nil]) }
end
extract_sub_array a, 2
# => [[1, 2], [2, 1]]
extract_sub_array a, 4
# => [[1, 2], [2, 1], [3, 3], [nil, nil]]
def convert(a,n)
Array.new(n) { |i| a[i] || [nil,nil] }
end
a = [[1,2], [2,1], [3,3]]
convert(a,2) #=> [[1, 2], [2, 1]]
convert(a,3) #=> [[1, 2], [2, 1], [3, 3]]
convert(a,4) #=> [[1, 2], [2, 1], [3, 3], [nil, nil]]
convert(a,5) #=> [[1, 2], [2, 1], [3, 3], [nil, nil], [nil, nil]]
Assuming, the desired_length is specified and an array is named arr:
arr = [[1,2], [2,1], [3,3]]
# Will shrink an array or fill it with nils
# #param arr [Array] an array
# #param desired_length [Integer] the target length
def yo arr, desired_length
arr[0...desired_length] + [[nil,nil]]*[0,desired_length-arr.length].max
end
yo arr, 2
#⇒ [[1,2], [2,1]]
yo arr, 4
#⇒ [[1,2], [2,1], [3,3], [nil, nil]]

Array of arrays into array of hashes

i want to convert in ruby
[[1, 1], [2, 3], [3, 5], [4, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 5], [4, 1]]
into
[{1=>1}, {2=>3}, {3=>5}, {4=>1}, {1=>2}, {2=>3}, {3=>5}, {4=>1}]
and after this to obtain sum of all different keys:
{1=>3,2=>6,3=>10,4=>2}
For the second question
sum = Hash.new(0)
original_array.each{|x, y| sum[x] += y}
sum # => {1 => 3, 2 => 6, 3 => 10, 4 => 2}
Functional approach:
xs = [[1, 1], [2, 3], [3, 5], [4, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 5], [4, 1]]
Hash[xs.group_by(&:first).map do |k, pairs|
[k, pairs.map { |x, y| y }.inject(:+)]
end]
#=> {1=>3, 2=>6, 3=>10, 4=>2}
Using Facets is much simpler thanks to the abstractions map_by (a variation of group_by) and mash (map + Hash):
require 'facets'
xs.map_by { |k, v| [k, v] }.mash { |k, vs| [k, vs.inject(:+)] }
#=> {1=>3, 2=>6, 3=>10, 4=>2}
You don't need the intermediate form.
arrays = [[1, 1], [2, 3], [3, 5], [4, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 5], [4, 1]]
aggregate = arrays.each_with_object Hash.new do |(key, value), hash|
hash[key] = hash.fetch(key, 0) + value
end
aggregate # => {1=>3, 2=>6, 3=>10, 4=>2}
arr= [[1, 1], [2, 3], [3, 5], [4, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 5], [4, 1]]
final = Hash.new(0)
second_step = arr.inject([]) do |arr,inner|
arr << Hash[*inner]
final[inner.first] += inner.last
arr
end
second_step
#=> [{1=>1}, {2=>3}, {3=>5}, {4=>1}, {1=>2}, {2=>3}, {3=>5}, {4=>1}]
final
#=> {1=>3, 2=>6, 3=>10, 4=>2}
if you directly only need the last step
arr.inject(Hash.new(0)){|hash,inner| hash[inner.first] += inner.last;hash}
=> {1=>3, 2=>6, 3=>10, 4=>2}

uniq elements from array of arrays

I want to find unique elements from an array of arrays by the first element in the inner arrays.
for example
a = [[1,2],[2,3],[1,5]
I want something like
[[1,2],[2,3]]
The uniq method takes a block:
uniq_a = a.uniq(&:first)
Or if you want to do it in-place:
a.uniq!(&:first)
For example:
>> a = [[1,2],[2,3],[1,5]]
=> [[1, 2], [2, 3], [1, 5]]
>> a.uniq(&:first)
=> [[1, 2], [2, 3]]
>> a
=> [[1, 2], [2, 3], [1, 5]]
Or
>> a = [[1,2],[2,3],[1,5]]
=> [[1, 2], [2, 3], [1, 5]]
>> a.uniq!(&:first)
=> [[1, 2], [2, 3]]
>> a
=> [[1, 2], [2, 3]]
If you're stuck back in 1.8.7 land where uniq doesn't take a block, then you can do it this way:
a.group_by(&:first).values.map(&:first)
For example:
>> a = [[1,2],[2,3],[1,5]]
=> [[1, 2], [2, 3], [1, 5]]
>> a.group_by(&:first).values.map(&:first)
=> [[1, 2], [2, 3]]
Thanks for the extra prodding Jin.
Here's a ruby 1.8.7 solution
irb> [[1,2],[2,3],[1,5]].inject([]) { |memo,x| memo << x unless memo.detect { |item| item.first == x.first }; memo }
=> [[1, 2], [2, 3]]
You could also take the shorthand over a hash and be a bit lazy and take the last item instead
irb> [[1,2],[2,3],[1,5]].inject({}) { |memo,x| memo[x.first] = x; memo }.map { |x| x.last }
=> [[1, 5], [2, 3]]

How to copy nested arrays and making sure that the copy is a complete dup of the original

Is there an easy way to copy a nested Array so that every object in the array will be a 'dup' of the original? I recently run into this:
irb(main):001:0> a = [[1,2],[3,4]]
=> [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
irb(main):002:0> b = a.dup
=> [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
irb(main):003:0> a[0][1] = 99
=> 99
irb(main):004:0> a
=> [[1, 99], [3, 4]]
irb(main):005:0> b
=> [[1, 99], [3, 4]]
irb(main):006:0> a[0] = [101,102]
=> [101, 102]
irb(main):007:0> a
=> [[101, 102], [3, 4]]
irb(main):008:0> b
=> [[1, 99], [3, 4]]
So while the first level of arrays in a were individual objects, their content were not, a[0][1] is still equal to b[0][1]. A general solution don't even have to know how deeply an array is nested. Walking through every object and make it a dup of itself sounds a bit brute-force to me.
b = Marshal.load(Marshal.dump(a))
