I have two arrays:
a = [6, 4, 3]
b = [1, 3, 4]
I call a.sort:
a.sort = [3, 4, 6]
How do I sort array b so the values have the same position to values in array a before the sort?
It would be now:
b = [4, 3, 1]
So that values in b have the same position to values in array a.
You could combine both the arrays into one using the zip method. Once you combine a and b, you would get,
[[6, 1], [4, 3], [3, 4]]
Now sort the arrays, which would sort them based on the first element of each sub-array resulting in,
[[3, 4], [4, 3], [6, 1]]
Now we want to do the reverse of zip to get the first and second elements of each sub-array into a new array. Using transpose, we can get it back in the original form as,
[[3, 4, 6], [4, 3, 1]]
Thankfully using parallel assignment all of this is possible in one line. Here's the full code,
x, y = a.zip(b).sort.transpose
Now x should contain [3, 4, 6], and y should contain [4, 3, 1].
a = [6, 4, 3]
b = [1, 3, 4]
ra, rb = a.zip(b).sort_by(&:first).transpose
# ra => [3, 4, 6]
# rb => [4, 3, 1]
I don't know what you're trying to achieve, and I'm sure others could come up with a more elegant solution, but I would use a Hash instead. Assign the values of a a as the key, and the values of b as the values. You could iterate over a to accomplish this, or just in advance when you're creating this data. The result should be:
$ hash
=> {6 => 1, 4 => 3, 3 => 4}
a0 b0 a1 b1 a2 b2
$ hash.sort
=> [[3, 4], [4, 3], [6, 1]]
Like I said, not super smooth, but I've got turkey hangover...
[a, b].transpose.sort { |x, y| x[0] <=> y[0] }.transpose[1]
=> [4, 3, 1]
or
a, b = [a, b].transpose.sort { |x, y| x[0] <=> y[0] }.transpose

I have 2 arrays that I've zipped together and now I'm trying to swipe values at even positions.
So this is what I've tried:
a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
b = [111, 222, 333, 444]
c = a.zip(b)
# Now c is equal to: [[1, 111], [2, 222],[3, 333],[4, 444]]
c.map.with_index do |item, index|
a = item[0]
b = item[1]
if index%2 == 0
a, b = b, a
end
end
What I would like to have:
c = [[1, 111], [222,2], [3, 333],[444, 4]]
But it's still not working, is there a better solution ? Or how could I fix mine to make it work ?
EDIT:
I've realized that I could probably just use the ".reverse" method to swap the element. But I still can't manage to make it work.
Perhaps try:
c.map.with_index do |item, index|
index%2 != 0 ? item.reverse : item
end
=> [[1, 111], [222, 2], [3, 333], [444, 4]]
I would probably go with
a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
b = [111, 222, 333, 444]
a.zip(b).each_with_index do |item, idx|
item.reverse! if idx.odd?
end
#=>[[1, 111], [222, 2], [3, 333], [444, 4]]
zip as you did and reverse! just the items where the index is odd.
Other options include:
a.map.with_index(1) do |item,idx|
[item].insert(idx % 2, b[idx -1])
end
#=>[[1, 111], [222, 2], [3, 333], [444, 4]]
Here we use with_index starting with 1 and then use the modulo method to determine if the item in b should be placed at index 0 or index 1.
Or
a.zip(b).tap {|c| c.each_slice(2) {|_,b| b.reverse!}}
#=>[[1, 111], [222, 2], [3, 333], [444, 4]]
Here we zip a and b as your example did then we take the sub Arrays in groups of 2 and reverse the second Array using reverse! which will modify the Array in place.
[ 1, 1, 3, 5 ] & [ 1, 2, 3 ] #=> [ 1, 3 ]
[ 'a', 'b', 'b', 'z' ] & [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ] #=> [ 'a', 'b' ]
I need the intersection of each array with all other arrays within an array.
So the array could look like ->
a = [[1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6]]
The result should look like ->
a = [[3],[3,4,5][4,5]]
Any suggestions?
Look into the combination method.
a = [[1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6],[1,"a","b"]]
p a.combination(2).map{|x,y| x & y } #=> [[3], [], [1], [4, 5], [], []]
And if you do not want the empty arrays in there:
p a.combination(2).map{|x,y| x & y }.reject(&:empty?) #=> [[3], [1], [4, 5]]
Edit: After seeing some examples what OP actually want here is how I would achieve the desired result:
original = [[1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6]]
def intersect_with_rest(array)
array.size.times.map do
first, *rest = array
array.rotate!
first & rest.flatten
end
end
p intersect_with_rest(original) #=> [[3], [3, 4, 5], [4, 5]]
p original #=> [[1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6]]
Or:
original = [[1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6]]
result = original.map.with_index do |x,i|
x & (original[0...i]+original[1+i..-1]).flatten
end
p result #=> [[3], [3, 4, 5], [4, 5]]
Yeah, finally I found a solution. Maybe there is a simpler way, but that works for me now..
c = [[1,2,3],[3,4,5],[4,5,6]]
results = [];c.length.times.each {|e| results.push c.rotate(e).combination(2).map {|x, y| x & y}}
results.map{|x, y| y + x}
=> [[3], [3, 4, 5], [4, 5]]
Thanks to #hirolau for the hint. Best regards
Given an array A[] and a number x, check for pair in A[] with sum as x. can anyone help me out on this one in rails?
The ruby array #combination method can give you all combinations of array members of a given number of elements.
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].combination(2).to_a
=> [[1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 4], [1, 5], [1, 6], [2, 3], [2, 4], ... [5,6]]
Then you just want to select the elements where they add up to a given number.
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]combination(2).to_a.select{|comb| comb[0] + comb[1] == 7}
=> [[1, 6], [2, 5], [3, 4]]
To make it work for a different number of combined elements (e.g. 3 instead of 2) you can do...
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]combination(3).to_a.select{|c| (c.inject(0) {|sum,x| sum + x}) == 7}
This will work for 2, 3, 4, or any number up to the full array size.
It works by
finding combinations of 3
using `#inject' to sum all the elements of each combination
comparing that sum to the target number
You can easily achieve it by own function as:
def sum_as_x?(ary,x)
num=a.find{|e| ary.include?(x-e)}
unless num
puts "not exist"
else
p [x-num,num]
end
end
a = [1,2,3,4,5]
sum_to_x?(a,9)
>> [5, 4]
sum_to_x?(a,20)
>> not exist
This question already has answers here:
How to chunk an array in Ruby
(2 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I need a way to split an array in to an exact number of smaller arrays of roughly-equal size. Anyone have any method of doing this?
For instance
a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]
groups = a.method_i_need(3)
groups.inspect
=> [[1,2,3,4,5], [6,7,8,9], [10,11,12,13]]
Note that this is an entirely separate problem from dividing an array into chunks, because a.each_slice(3).to_a would produce 5 groups (not 3, like we desire) and the final group may be a completely different size than the others:
[[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9], [10,11,12], [13]] # this is NOT desired here.
In this problem, the desired number of chunks is specified in advance, and the sizes of each chunk will differ by 1 at most.
You're looking for Enumerable#each_slice
a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
a.each_slice(3) # => #<Enumerator: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]:each_slice(3)>
a.each_slice(3).to_a # => [[0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6, 7]]
Perhaps I'm misreading the question since the other answer is already accepted, but it sounded like you wanted to split the array in to 3 equal groups, regardless of the size of each group, rather than split it into N groups of 3 as the previous answers do. If that's what you're looking for, Rails (ActiveSupport) also has a method called in_groups:
a = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6]
a.in_groups(2) # => [[0,1,2,3],[4,5,6,nil]]
a.in_groups(3, false) # => [[0,1,2],[3,4], [5,6]]
I don't think there is a ruby equivalent, however, you can get roughly the same results by adding this simple method:
class Array; def in_groups(num_groups)
return [] if num_groups == 0
slice_size = (self.size/Float(num_groups)).ceil
groups = self.each_slice(slice_size).to_a
end; end
a.in_groups(3) # => [[0,1,2], [3,4,5], [6]]
The only difference (as you can see) is that this won't spread the "empty space" across all the groups; every group but the last is equal in size, and the last group always holds the remainder plus all the "empty space".
Update:
As #rimsky astutely pointed out, the above method will not always result in the correct number of groups (sometimes it will create multiple "empty groups" at the end, and leave them out). Here's an updated version, pared down from ActiveSupport's definition which spreads the extras out to fill the requested number of groups.
def in_groups(number)
group_size = size / number
leftovers = size % number
groups = []
start = 0
number.times do |index|
length = group_size + (leftovers > 0 && leftovers > index ? 1 : 0)
groups << slice(start, length)
start += length
end
groups
end
Try
a.in_groups_of(3,false)
It will do your job
As mltsy wrote, in_groups(n, false) should do the job.
I just wanted to add a small trick to get the right balance
my_array.in_group(my_array.size.quo(max_size).ceil, false).
Here is an example to illustrate that trick:
a = (0..8).to_a
a.in_groups(4, false) => [[0, 1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7, 8]]
a.in_groups(a.size.quo(4).ceil, false) => [[0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8]]
This needs some better cleverness to smear out the extra pieces, but it's a reasonable start.
def i_need(bits, r)
c = r.count
(1..bits - 1).map { |i| r.shift((c + i) * 1.0 / bits ) } + [r]
end
> i_need(2, [1, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8])
=> [[1, 3, 5, 7], [2, 4, 6, 8]]
> i_need(3, [1, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8])
=> [[1, 3, 5], [7, 2, 4], [6, 8]]
> i_need(5, [1, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8])
=> [[1, 3], [5, 7], [2, 4], [6], [8]]
I found another question on here that told how to get the matching items in 2 arrays like this:
matches = array1 & array2
However I have an array of arrays. like:
[[1,2,3,4],[2,3,4,5],[1,3,4,5]]
In this case I want to return 3 and 4 because they are in all three arrays.
How do I go about doing that?
Thank you!
Like this:
a.reduce(:&)
For example:
>> a = [[1,2,3,4],[2,3,4,5],[1,3,4,5]]
=> [[1, 2, 3, 4], [2, 3, 4, 5], [1, 3, 4, 5]]
>> a.reduce(:&)
=> [3, 4]
