Another function often used with data collections is one which groups the elements according to some evaluation result.
Consider the following example. Let's say you have a list of 100 integers and you want to group them according to their even and odd value.
In Ruby, you can easily do this by using group_by
method provide by
Enumerable module.
> (1..5).group_by {|x| x%2}
{1=>[1,3,5], 0=>[2, 4]}
Of course this is a very simple example and its use can be very complicated in nature.
In this challenge, your task is to group the students into two categories
corresponding to their marks obtained in a test. The list of students will be
provided in a marks
hash with student name as key and marks obtained (out of
100) as value pair, along with the pass_marks
as argument.
The method group_by_marks
must return a Hash
containing an array of
students who passed as value to Passed
key, and those who failed as value to
Failed
key. If a particular key is empty, don't return that key.
For example,
> marks = {"Ramesh":23, "Vivek":40, "Harsh":88, "Mohammad":60}
> group_by_marks(marks, 30)
=> {"Failed"=>[["Ramesh", 23]], "Passed"=>[["Vivek", 40], ["Harsh", 88], ["Mohammad", 60]]}
