Method: Hash#delete_if

Defined in:
hash.c

#delete_if {|key, value| ... } ⇒ self #delete_if ⇒ Object

If a block given, calls the block with each key-value pair; deletes each entry for which the block returns a truthy value; returns self:

h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h.delete_if {|key, value| value > 0 } # => {:foo=>0}

If no block given, returns a new Enumerator:

h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
e = h.delete_if # => #<Enumerator: {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2}:delete_if>
e.each { |key, value| value > 0 } # => {:foo=>0}

Overloads:

  • #delete_if {|key, value| ... } ⇒ self
