Question

I have the following:

@products = {
  2 => [
    #<Review id: 9, answer01: 3, score: 67, style_id: 2, consumer_id: 2,
    branch_id: 2, business_id: 2>
  ],
  15 => [
    #<Review id: 10, answer01: 3, score: 67, style_id: 2, consumer_id: 2,
    branch_id: 2, business_id: 2>,
    #<Review id: 11, answer01: 3, score: 67, style_id: 2, consumer_id: 2,
    branch_id: 2, business_id: 2>
  ]
}

I want to average the scores for all reviews associated with each product’s hash key. How can I do this?

Answer 1

Yes, just use map to make and array of the scores for each product and then take the average of the array.

average_scores = {}
@products.each_pair do |key, product|
  scores = product.map{ |p| p.score }
  sum = scores.inject(:+) # If you are using rails, you can also use scores.sum
  average = sum.to_f / scores.size
  average_scores[key] = average
end
