Codewar Notes

sorts an array of hashes passed in by the hash key specified

array.sort_by { |h| h[key] }

takes an array of keys and a default value and returns a hash with all keys set to the default value

Hash[keys.map { |key| [key, default_value] }]

sorts the passed in array of numbers. If the function passes in an empty array or null/nil value then it should return an empty array

Array(nums).sort

return true if all elements in the array meet conditions

data.select { |row| row[:sex] == sex }.all? { |row| row[:age] > age }

count the number of 1s in a string

n.to_s(2).count "1"

contain all

class Array
  def contains_all?(other_array)
    (other_array - self).size == 0
  end
end

Matrix Addtion

def matrixAddition(a, b)
  a.zip(b).map{|x,y| x.zip(y).map{|w,z| w+z}}
end

block

Extend the Array class so that it supports an invoke instance method. The method will be called when someone wishes to execute/invoke a method on each of the items in the array.

For example, if you wanted to call the update method with two arguments on all non-nil objects within an array called items:

# contrived class example used to provide a method that we could call
class ExampleItem
  # notice that this method always returns "updated"
  def update(arg1, arg2)
    @arg1 = arg1
    @arg2 = arg2
    "updated"
   end
end
items = [ExampleItem.new, nil, ExampleItem.new]

update_results = items.invoke(:update, "argument 1", "argument 2") {|item| item != nil}
# update_result would == ['updated', 'updated']

solution

class Array
  def invoke(name, *args, &block)
    self.select(&block).map { |e| e.send(name.to_sym, *args)}
  end
end

Email Regex

email_regex = /A[w+-.]+@[a-zd-.]+.[a-z]+z/i
!!(email =~ email_regex)

• Split uppercase s.split /(?=[A-Z])/

Uncapitalize

class String
  def uncapitalize 
    self[0, 1].downcase + self[1..-1]
  end
end

str.split(/-|_/) - split by '-' or '_'

Fluent Calculator

  class Calc
    ACCEPTED_METHODS = { 
      one:'1', two:'2',   three:'3',  four:'4', five:'5',
      six:'6', seven:'7', eight:'8',  nine:'9', ten:'10',
      plus:'+', minus:'-', times:'*', divided_by:'/'
    }

    def method_missing(name)
      @calc_string = "#{@calc_string} #{ACCEPTED_METHODS[name]}".strip
      @calc_string.split.size == 3 ? eval(@calc_string) : self
    end
  end

Hash#fetch

• fetch(key_name): get the value if the key exists, raise a KeyError if it doesn't
• fetch(key_name, default_value): get the value if the key exists, return default_value otherwise
• fetch(key_name) { |key| "default" }: get the value if the key exists, otherwise run the supplied

Array#pack, Array#unpack

module Converter
  def self.to_ascii(hex)
    [hex].pack("H*")
  end

  def self.to_hex(ascii)
    ascii.unpack("H*").first
  end
end

Overlape scan

def search_substr( fullText, searchText, allowOverlap = true )
  if searchText == ''
    0
  else
    fullText.scan(allowOverlap ? Regexp.new("(?=(#{searchText}))") : searchText).size
  end
end
