Method: Hash#fetch

Defined in:
hash.c

#fetch(key) ⇒ Object #fetch(key, default_value) ⇒ Object #fetch(key) {|key| ... } ⇒ Object

Returns the value for the given key, if found.

h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h.fetch(:bar) # => 1

If key is not found and no block was given, returns default_value:

{}.fetch(:nosuch, :default) # => :default

If key is not found and a block was given, yields key to the block and returns the block’s return value:

{}.fetch(:nosuch) {|key| "No key #{key}"} # => "No key nosuch"

Raises KeyError if neither default_value nor a block was given.

Note that this method does not use the values of either #default or #default_proc.
