common_element.rb
This Ruby code snippet demonstrates set intersection and finding common elements between arrays. Specifically, (a & b).sort.first
calculates the intersection of arrays a
and b
, sorts the resulting set, and returns the first element. a.find { |x| b.include?(x) }
finds the first element present in both arrays a
and b
.
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"
