My current knowledge of hashes is to create a hash with unique keys. So, if given a group of people, I can create something like this:
'Bob Dole' => {
'address' => '123 peach st.',
'spouse' => 'Bill Clinton',
'father' => 'Frank Dole'
},
'Al Pacino' => {
'address' => '123 orange st.',
'spouse' => 'Robert Deniro',
'father' => 'Marlon Brando'
}
...
What I am trying to figure out how to create is something like this instead:
'People' => {
'name' => 'Bob Dole',
'address' => '123 peach st.',
'spouse' => 'Bill Clinton',
'father' => 'Frank Dole'
},
{
'name' => 'Al Pacino',
'address' => '123 orange st.',
'spouse' => 'Robert Deniro',
'father' => 'Marlon Brando'
}
...
I'm having a difficult time finding the right search terms to get some sort of tutorial that helps me with this one. A nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
