Ruby: Hash, Arrays and Objects for storage information -


i learning ruby, reading few books, tutorials, foruns , one... so, brand new this. trying develop stock system can learn doing. questions following:

i created following store transactions: (just few parts of code)

transactions.push type: "buy", date: date.strptime(date.to_s, '%d/%m/%y'), quantity: quantity, price: price.to_money(:brl), fees: fees.to_money(:brl) 

and 1 colleague here suggested create transaction class store this. so, next storage information had, did:

@dividends_from_stock << dividendsfromstock.new(row["approved"], row["value"], row["type"], row["last day with"], row["payment day"]) 

now, first question: way better? hash in array or object in array? , why?

this @dividends_from_stock returned method 'dividends'.

i want find dividends paid above specific date:

puts ciel3.dividends.find_all {|dividend| date.parse(dividend.last_day_with) >  date.parse('12/05/2014')} 

i following:

#<dividendsfromstock:0x2785e60> #<dividendsfromstock:0x2785410> #<dividendsfromstock:0x2784a68> #<dividendsfromstock:0x27840c0> #<dividendsfromstock:0x1ec91f8> #<dividendsfromstock:0x2797ce0> #<dividendsfromstock:0x2797338> #<dividendsfromstock:0x2796990> 

ok able spot (i think) objects has date higher 12/05/2014. (second question) how can information regarding 'value' (or other information) stored inside objects?

  1. generally better define classes. classes have names. understand going on when program gets big. can see class of each variable this: var.class. if use hashes everywhere, confused because these calls return hash. if define classes things, see class names.
  2. define methods in classes return information need. if define method called to_s, ruby call behind scenes on object when print or use in interpolation (puts "some #{var} here").
