Hash#compare_by_identity () is an Hash class method which compares the hash key with its identity and consider exact same objects as same keys.
Syntax: Hash.compare_by_identity ()
Parameter: Hash array
Return: compares the hash key with its identity
Example #1 :
# Ruby code for compare_by_identity () method # declaring Hash value a = {a: 100 , b :nil }
# declaring Hash value b = {a: 100 , c :nil , b: "b" }
# declaring Hash value c = {a: 100 }
puts "compare_by_identity a : #{a.compare_by_identity}\n\n"
puts "compare_by_identity b : #{b.compare_by_identity}\n\n"
puts "compare_by_identity b : #{c.compare_by_identity}\n\n"
|
Output :
compare_by_identity a : {:a=>100, :b=>nil} compare_by_identity b : {:a=>100, :c=>nil, :b=>"b"} compare_by_identity b : {:a=>100}
Example #2 :
# Ruby code for compare_by_identity () method # declaring Hash value a = { "a" => 100 , "b" => 200 }
# declaring Hash value b = { "a" => 100 }
# declaring Hash value c = { "a" => 100 , "c" => "c" , "b" => 200 }
puts "compare_by_identity a : #{a.compare_by_identity}\n\n"
puts "compare_by_identity b : #{b.compare_by_identity}\n\n"
puts "compare_by_identity b : #{c.compare_by_identity}\n\n"

Output :
compare_by_identity a : {"a"=>100, "b"=>200} compare_by_identity b : {"a"=>100} compare_by_identity b : {"a"=>100, "c"=>"c", "b"=>200}
