How do I iterate over this Hash in Ruby?

Question

[:sha,"string"]
[:node_id,"dsd"]
[:stats,{:total=>122},:additions=>23],:deletions=>72}]
[:files,[{:sha=>"456"},:filename=>"456"],{:sha=>"123"},:filename=>"123"]]

I want to access the content of files sha and stats.


  client.commit("healtheintent/hcc_reference_service","3a3c56babbc1c77323d178303fa06f8d11e1133d").each do |key,value|

    if("#{key}"=="files")
      puts ("#{value}")
    end
  end

Now the values returns the entire content inside the files Similarily, How do I access the stats

You have 4 independent arrays. This is not a single data structure of any kind. — Todd A. Jacobs, Feb 17 '22 at 09:53
Thats because I have used to .to_s to access the content of the hash — C-mmon, Feb 17 '22 at 10:10
it might be worthwhile using "pretty print" `pp` to get a nicer output — Jad, Feb 17 '22 at 10:52

How to iterate over the hash in general

hash = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 2 }

hash.each do |key, value|
  if key == :a
    puts "a is #{value}"
  else
    puts "It is not a, it's #{key}"
  end
end

Also you can iterate over the keys only or over the values only using each_key or each_value methods
