Hash.try_convert(obj) â hash or nil Class Public methods Try to convert obj into a hash, using #to_hash method. Returns converted hash or nil if obj cannot be converted for any reason. Hash.try_convert({1=>2}) # => {1=>2} Hash.try_convert("1=>2") # => nil

Hash.new â new_hashHash.new(obj) â new_hashHash.new {|hash, key| block } â new_hash Class Public methods Returns a new, empty hash. If this hash is subsequently accessed by a key that doesn't correspond to a hash entry, the value returned depends on the style of new used to create the hash. In the first form, the access returns nil. If obj is specified, this single object will be used for all default values. If a block is specified,

Hash[ key, value, ... ] â new_hashHash[ [ [key, value], ... ] ] â new_hashHash[ object ] â new_hash Class Public methods Creates a new hash populated with the given objects. Equivalent to the literal { key => value, ... }. In the first form, keys and values occur in pairs, so there must be an even number of arguments.
