I am trying to define a structure that can create a one-to-many relationship, sort of. For example, let's say an organization named "ACO" has some stuff:
KEY_PERF_INDS = [ {'ACO' => [2,3,4] , [2,34,5]} ]
But this is syntactically wrong. Is it possible to write something that achieves this?
If your other groups HOSPITAL, BLAH, ETC (per the comments) are all to be at the same level as ACO, then the entire structure KEY_PERF_INDS should be a hash {} rather than an array []. Make each of those a key to the main hash, and each is an array containing sub-arrays.
# The main structure is a hash {}
KEY_PERF_INDS = {
'ACO' => [
[1,2,3],
[4,5,6]
],
'HOSPITAL' => [
[3,2,1],
[9,8,7]
],
'BLAH' => [
[99,88],
[11,22],
[33,44]
]
}
Access these then as:
KEY_PERF_INDS['HOSPITAL'][1][2]
# prints 7
KEY_PERF_INDS['BLAH'].last.first
# prints 33
ACOsupposed to be an array of sub-arrays?'ACO' => [ [2,3,4], [2,34,5] ]HOSPITAL,BLAHare at the same level asACO? That's just more keys in the hash...[{ 'ACO' => [[2,3,4],[3,4,5]], 'HOSPITAL' => [[1,2,3],[9,8]] }]KEY_PERF_INDSitself should be a hash{}not an array.KEY_PERF_INDS = { 'ACO' => [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]], 'HOSPITAL' => [[3,2,1],[9,8,7]] }
