Compare two arrays of hashes and return a new object
I have two arrays of hashes.
burgers = [
{:id => 1, :name => "cheese burger"},
{:id => 2, :name => "royale"},
{:id => 3, :name => "big mac"},
{:id => 4, :name => "angus beef"}
]
eaten = [
{:burger_id => 1},
{:burger_id => 2}
]
I would like to return an array or uneaten burgers where burgers[:id]
does not equal eaten[:burger_id]
. In burgers_not_eaten_method
I have an expected return value.
def burgers_not_eaten
#Not sure how to compare burger[:id] with eaten[:burger_id]
burgers.reject { |burger| burger[:id] == #eaten burger_id }
# Expected: [{:id => 3, :name => "big mac"},{:id => 4, :name => "angus beef"}]
end

You are close, to make it easy, I would hook all the "eaten" identifiers into an array and check the inclusion in this array, for example:
BURGERS = [
{:id => 1, :name => "cheese burger"},
{:id => 2, :name => "royale"},
{:id => 3, :name => "big mac"},
{:id => 4, :name => "angus beef"}
]
EATEN = [
{:burger_id => 1},
{:burger_id => 2}
]
def burgers_not_eaten
eaten_ids = EATEN.map { |e| e[:burger_id] }
BURGERS.reject { |burger| eaten_ids.include?(burger[:id]) }
end
burgers_not_eaten
# => [{:id=>3, :name=>"big mac"}, {:id=>4, :name=>"angus beef"}]
