Question

Hi I want put these values into hash and also retrieve them.

  c={}

  a={"cat"=> 1,"cap"=> 2} 

  b={"rat"=> 12,"soap"=> 5} 

Now how can I put values “a” and “b” into value “c”?

And retrieve these values a and b from value c?

Thanks.

You can’t push into a hash.

Every value that you add into a hash has to have a key. So in your case, you can do

c[key1] = a
c[key2] = b

Your hash now becomes c = {"key1" => {"cat" => 1,"cap" => 2}, "key2" => {"rat" => 12,"soap" => 5}}

You can retrieve them by c[your_key].
