Example #1 :




# Ruby code for Hash.merge!() method
  
# declaring Hash value
a = {a:100, b:200}
  
# declaring Hash value
b = {a:100, c:300, b:200}
  
# declaring Hash value
c = {a:100}
  
  
# merge! Value
puts "Hash a merge! form : #{a.merge!(b)}\n\n"
  
puts "Hash b merge! form : #{b.merge!(c)}\n\n"
  
puts "Hash c merge! form : #{c.merge!(a)}\n\n"


Output :

Hash a merge! form : {:a=>100, :b=>200, :c=>300}

Hash b merge! form : {:a=>100, :c=>300, :b=>200}

Hash c merge! form : {:a=>100, :b=>200, :c=>300}

Example #2 :




# Ruby code for Hash.merge!() method
  
# declaring Hash value
a = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 }
  
# declaring Hash value
b = {"a" => 100}
  
# declaring Hash value
c = {"a" => 100, "c" => 300, "b" => 200}
  
  
# merge! Value
puts "Hash a merge! form : #{a.merge!(b)}\n\n"
  
puts "Hash b merge! form : #{b.merge!(c)}\n\n"
  
puts "Hash c merge! form : #{c.merge!(a)}\n\n"


Output :

Hash a merge! form : {"a"=>100, "b"=>200}

Hash b merge! form : {"a"=>100, "c"=>300, "b"=>200}

Hash c merge! form : {"a"=>100, "c"=>300, "b"=>200}
