Question

I have a Ruby array whose elements alternate between Strings and Hashes. For example-

["1234", Hash#1, "5678", Hash#2]

I would like to create a nested hash structure from this. So,

hash["1234"]["key in hash#1"] = value
hash["5678"]["key in hash#2"] = value

Does anyone have/now a nice way of doing this? Thank you.

Answer 1

Simply use

hsh = Hash[*arr] #suppose arr is the array you have

It will slice 2 at a time and convert into hash.
