Hash#inverse为您提供:
h = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 2}
h.inverse
=> {1=>:a, 2=>[:c, :b]}
h.inverse.inverse
=> {:a=>1, :c=>2, :b=>2} # order might not be preserved
h.inverse.inverse == h
=> true # true-ish because order might change
files = {
'Input.txt' => 'Randy',
'Code.py' => 'Stan',
'Output.txt' => 'Randy'
}
h = Hash.new{|h,k| h[k] = []} # Create hash that defaults unknown keys to empty an empty list
files.map {|k,v| h[v]<< k} #append each key to the list at a known value
puts h
