Access elements of nested hashes using fetch method

The fetch method allows us to access nested hash elements.

Syntax:

nested_hash.fetch(key1).fetch(key2)…

Example: In this example we use fetch method to access the nested hash elements

Ruby
# Example nested hash
nested_hash = {
  key1: {
    key2: {
      key3: "geekforgeeks"
    }
  }
}

 

#  Access elements of nested hashes using fetch method
value3 = nested_hash.fetch(:key1).fetch(:key2).fetch(:key3)
puts "Value: #{value3}"
 

Output
Value: geekforgeeks
