Hash#delete_if

hash.delete_if {|key, value| ... } → self

hash.delete_if → new_enumerator

VALUE
rb_hash_delete_if(VALUE hash)
{
    RETURN_SIZED_ENUMERATOR(hash, 0, 0, hash_enum_size);
    rb_hash_modify_check(hash);
    if (!RHASH_TABLE_EMPTY_P(hash)) {
        rb_hash_foreach(hash, delete_if_i, hash);
    }
    return hash;
}

If a block given, calls the block with each key-value pair; deletes each entry for which the block returns a truthy value; returns self:

Example

h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h.delete_if {|key, value| value > 0 } # => {:foo=>0}

If no block given, returns a new Enumerator:

Example

h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
e = h.delete_if # => #<Enumerator: {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2}:delete_if>
e.each { |key, value| value > 0 } # => {:foo=>0}
