How to remove a record if it is duplicate end sum values :val

I have a hash like so:

list=[
{:cod => “0001”, :name => “name1”, :val => 10},
{:cod => “0001”, :name => “name1”, :val => 12},
{:cod => “0002”, :name => “name2”, :val => 13},
{:cod => “0002”, :name => “name2”, :val => 14},
{:cod => “0002”, :name => “name2”, :val => 14},
{:cod => “0004”, :name => “name4”, :val => 16},
{:cod => “0004”, :name => “name4”, :val => 16},
{:cod => “0004”, :name => “name4”, :val => 17},
{:cod => “0005”, :name => “name5”, :val => 17},
{:cod => “0005”, :name => “name5”, :val => 17},
{:cod => “0005”, :name => “name5”, :val => 17},
{:cod => “0006”, :name => “name6”, :val => 110},
{:cod => “0006”, :name => “name6”, :val => 10},
]

What I would like to learn how to do is how to remove a record if it is
duplicate end sum values :val.

That’s not a hash, it’s an array of hashes.

list.uniq!

saw something similar somewhere as a test for job seekers :slight_smile:

so don’t know if someone will help you as it’s not so hard to solve

Michael P., thanks for reply.

Okay, i agree that is a array of hash : list.class => Array end
list.last.class => Hash.
But your solution only removes duplication and the sum of :val ?

Tom Meinlschmid, thanks for reply.

Not a test for job seekers :slight_smile:

Solution:

list.inject(Hash.new(0)) { |hash, el| hash[el[:cod]] += el[:val] ; hash
}

I think you need to make it more clear what you are trying to achieve.
The sentence " But your solution only removes duplication and the sum
of :val?" does not make sense.

I’m sorry if it made no sense to my sentence. The next will be clearer.
