Merging an array of array with an other array

Question

I got this:

first = [['lorem1','lorem1','lorem1',...],['lorem2','lorem2','lorem2',...],...]
second = [value1,value2,value3, ...]

I want to do something like that:

my_array_of_hash = [{value 1 =>lorem1, value2 => lorem1}, {value1 =>lorem2, value2 => lorem2}, .... ]

Can you help me with that please?

Answer 1

hashes_array = []
first.each do |array|
  hashes_array << Hash[second.zip array]
end

or:

hashes_array = first.map do |array|
  Hash[second.zip array]
end
