To find the k
th smallest key in a map, we can sort the keys of the map and then return the k
th element from the sorted array.
Here's one way to do it in Ruby:
main.rb82 chars5 lines
This method takes a map and the value of k
as input, and returns the k
th smallest key in the map. It first creates a sorted array of keys using map.keys.sort
, and then returns the element at index k-1
of that array.
Note that this method assumes that the map has at least k
keys; if the map has fewer than k
keys, the method will raise a NilClass
error when trying to access the k
th element of the sorted array.
