Perfect! Our program is really coming along.
You might have wondered how we’re going to get our movies and ratings from the user—which come in as strings—into the hash where we want our movies to be symbols and our ratings to be integers. Built-in Ruby magic to the rescue!
Ruby’s .to_sym
method can convert a string to a symbol, and .to_i
will convert a string to an integer.
Instructions
1.
Call .to_sym
on your title
and .to_i
on your rating
so that your movie titles are stored as symbols in the hash and the associated ratings are stored as integers.
