14:49 <FromGitter> <domgetter> How am I supposed to check if a hash has had a key associated with a value yet? I tried `if my_hash[some_key]?` but it raises that it's missing the hash key, which is of course the exact thing I'm trying to check.

14:51 <FromGitter> <RespiteSage> `Hash#[]?` should work... Can you give some example code?

14:53 <FromGitter> <domgetter> Sorry, I got flustered and thought I got the same error, but after changing [] to []?, it is now reporting the error on a further line down and I failed to read that.

14:53 <FromGitter> <RespiteSage> Oh, gotcha. No worries. :)

14:54 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> `hash.has_key? some_key`

14:54 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> if all you want is a bool of if it exists yet and dont care about the value

14:54 <FromGitter> <domgetter> Thanks for the help, it forced me to read the error more closely

14:54 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> also if `false` is a valid value in your hash `if v = hash[some_key]?` would not work

14:55 <FromGitter> <RespiteSage> Could you do `unless (v = hash[some_key]?).nil?`?

14:55 <FromGitter> <domgetter> that makes sense

14:56 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> if you dont care what the value is and just want to see if there *is* a value with a given key, just use `Hash#has_key?`
