## Converting a hash into an array
my_hash = { 'a' => 'one', 'b' => 'two', 'c' => 'three' }
puts my_hash.inspect
# "{}.methods" includes "to_a" method - appears to convert to an array.
puts my_hash.to_a.inspect
# However, it includes keys *and* values (as nested arrays, according to http://apidock.com/ruby/Hash/to_a).
# There's also ":keys" and ":values"
puts my_hash.keys.inspect
puts my_hash.values.inspect
# Alternatively, :collect runs over all key-value pairs as an array, so we can do:
puts my_hash.collect { |val| val[1] }.inspect

## Converting an array to a hash
# Arrays have a :to_h method, but that assumes nested arrays of key-value pairs,
# e.g. [[key1, value1], [key2, value2]]
# Looping to create a nested array structure then :to_h would work:
my_array = ['one', 'two', 'three']
temp = []
# This would be neater with :map or :collect but then we don't get the index.
# The only sensible option is an :each_with_index, but that negates the need
# for :to_h.
my_hash = {}
my_array.each_with_index do |val, idx|
	my_hash[idx] = val

puts my_hash.inspect
