is it possible to make a quick "double assignation " in a hash like in php, for example :

a={} a[:b][:c]="value"

I don't think so... why would you want to though? It's not that much more code to say

value = whatever_intecate_algorithm_or_calculation_you_need a[:b] = value a[:c] = value

or

a{ a=> value, b => value}

it's actually

a = {}

=> {}

a[:a] = a[:b] = 1

=> 1

a

=> {:a=>1, :b=>1}

script/console is your friend :slight_smile:
