Converting a nested hash into a flat hash

by

Another way:

def flat_hash(h,f=[],g={})
  return g.update({ f=>h }) unless h.is_a? Hash
  h.each { |k,r| flat_hash(r,f+[k],g) }
  g
end

h = { :a => { :b => { :c => 1,
                      :d => 2 },
              :e => 3 },
      :f => 4 }

flat_hash(h) #=> {[:a, :b, :c]=>1, [:a, :b, :d]=>2, [:a, :e]=>3, [:f]=>4}
