Description

Given a hash

hash = { a: 2 }

I want to update a single value in the hash:

hash[:a] = hash[:a] + 42
hash[:a] #=> 44

But instead, I would like to have a method that yields the current value for a given key and associates the block result with the key (similar to Hash#update). I think that Hash#store can be extended to support a block arg.

hash.store(:a) { |val| val + 42 }
hash[:a] #=> 44

Or it can be something like this:

hash.transform_values(:a, :b) { |val| val + 42 }
hash[:a] #=> 44
