Ruby | Hash to_s method

Hash#to_s() is a Hash class method which gives the string representation of the hash.

Syntax: Hash.to_s()

Parameter: Hash values

Return: string representation of the hash.

Example #1 :

# Ruby code for Hash.to_s() 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}


# to_s Value
puts "Hash a to_s form : #{a.to_s()}\n\n"

puts "Hash b to_s form : #{b.to_s()}\n\n"

puts "Hash c to_s form : #{c.to_s()}\n\n"

Output :

Hash a to_s form : {:a=>100, :b=>200}

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

Hash c to_s form : {:a=>100}

Example #2 :

# Ruby code for Hash.to_s() 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}


# to_s Value
puts "Hash a to_s form : #{a.to_s()}\n\n"

puts "Hash b to_s form : #{b.to_s()}\n\n"

puts "Hash c to_s form : #{c.to_s()}\n\n"

Output :

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

Hash b to_s form : {"a"=>100}

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