Create the new hash from the old one with Ruby -

i have simple_hash:

old_hash = {"new"=>"0"} 

i wan convert new format:

new_hash = old_hash.keys.each |key|   hash = hash.new   hash[key] = {count: old_hash[key]}   hash end 

but code returns me:

["new"]  

instead of:

{"new"=>{:count=>"0"}} 

and question why?

you confusing syntax of block of method. in code, new_hash gets value of old_hash.keys, not want.

a little modification works:

new_hash = hash.new  old_hash.keys.each |key|   new_hash[key] = {count: old_hash[key]} end
