set nested keys in hash ruby code example

Example 1: find a key in nested hash ruby

def nested_hash_value(obj,key)
  if obj.respond_to?(:key?) && obj.key?(key)
    obj[key]
  elsif obj.respond_to?(:each)
    r = nil
    obj.find{ |*a| r=nested_hash_value(a.last,key) }
    r
  end
end

h = { foo:[1,2,[3,4],{a:{bar:42}}] }
p nested_hash_value(h,:bar)
#=> 42

Example 2: ruby create nested hash from array

h = array.reverse.inject(value) { |a, n| { n => a } }
