common_element.rb
This Ruby code snippet demonstrates finding common elements between two arrays (a
and b
). It first uses the &
operator (intersection) to find the common elements, sorts them, and retrieves the first element. Then, it uses find
with include?
to find the first element in a
that also exists in b
, achieving the same result. Both methods return “l9ma” in this case.
Ruby code snippet
a = ["z3qx", "l9ma", "b77r", "x1p0"]
#=> ["z3qx", "l9ma", "b77r", "x1p0"]
b = ["x1p0", "l9ma", "wxyz"]
#=> ["x1p0", "l9ma", "wxyz"]
(a & b).sort.first
#=> "l9ma"
a.find { |x| b.include?(x) }
#=> "l9ma"
