I have two arrays of hashes. The keys for the hashes are different:
player_scores1 = [{:first_name=>"Bruce", :score => 43, :time => 50},
{:first_name=>"Clark", :score => 45, :minutes => 20}]
player_scores2 = [{:last_name=>"Wayne", :points => 13, :time => 40},
{:last_name=>"Kent", :points => 3, :minutes => 20}]
I'd like to create a new array of hashes which adds up :score and :points together and assign it to a key called :score. I'd also like to combine the :first_name and :last_name and assign it to a key called :full_name. I want to discard any other keys.
This would result in this array:
all_players = [{:full_name => "Bruce Wayne", :score => 56},
{:full_name => "Clark Kent", :score => 48}]
Is there an elegant way to do this?
Something like this:
player_scores1.zip(player_scores2).map { |a,b|
{
:full_name => a[:first_name]+' '+b[:last_name],
:score => a[:score]+b[:points]
}
}
The code you're looking for is:
final = []
player_scores1.each_index do |index|
entry_1 = player_scores1.values(index)
entry_2 = player_scores2.values(index)[:first_name]
score = entry_1[:score] + entry_2[:points]
final << {:full_name => "#{entry_1[:first_name]} #{entry_2[:last_name]}", :score => score }
end
Any suggestions on tightening this up would be much appreciated!
This works. I don't if that's elegant enough though.
player_scores1 = [{:first_name=>"Bruce", :score => 43, :time => 50},
{:first_name=>"Clark", :score => 45, :minutes => 20}]
player_scores2 = [{:last_name=>"Wayne", :points => 13, :time => 40},
{:last_name=>"Kent", :points => 3, :minutes => 20}]
p (0...[player_scores1.length, player_scores2.length].min).map {|i| {
:full_name => player_scores1[i][:first_name] + " " + player_scores2[i][:last_name],
:score => player_scores1[i][:score] + player_scores2[i][:points]
}}
This example on Codepad.
This uses zip
with a block to loop over the hashes, joining the names and summarizing:
all_players = []
player_scores1.zip(player_scores2) { |a, b|
all_players << {
:full_name => a[:first_name] + ' ' + b[:last_name],
:score => a[:score] + b[:points]
}
}
all_players # => [{:full_name=>"Bruce Wayne", :score=>56}, {:full_name=>"Clark Kent", :score=>48}]
