Subject: Fwd: In search of elegant indices searching

Your result is confusing me:
>{{'x'=>1,'w'=>1}=>[0,3],{'x'=>3,'w'=>3}=>[2],{'x'=>5,'w'=>4}=>[4],{'x'=>6,
 'w'=>5}=>[5]}.

Not really sure what you're trying to accomplish, if you want to
determine the indices at which two arrays contain identical values,
you could try:


def comp arr1, arr2
  res=[]
  arr1.each_with_index {|val, i|
    res.push val==arr2[i]
  }
end
comp [1,1,3,1,5,6], [1,2,3,1,4,5] # -> [true, false, true, true, false, false]

if you'd like to determine which values occur in both arrays, try the
intersection operator `&`:

[1,1,3,1,5,6] & [1,2,3,1,4,5] # -> [1, 3, 5]
