I am trying to sort a document based on the number of times the word appears then alphabetically by the words so when it is outputted it will look something like this.
word_counts = {
'the' => 6,
'we' => 7,
'those' => 5,
'have' => 3,
'and' => 6
};
word_counts_sorted = word_counts.sort do
|a,b|
# sort on last field descending, then first field ascending if necessary
b.last <=> a.last || a.first <=> b.first
end
puts "Unsorted\n"
word_counts.each do
|word,count|
puts word + " " + count.to_s
end
puts "\n"
puts "Sorted\n"
word_counts_sorted.each do
|word,count|
puts word + " " + count.to_s
end
