Insert new item into array inside hash

Question

I have a hash that has keys that uniquely identify each item in the hash. And inside each element I have an array. So I ask a question how to place another element inside this array inside a hash.

{"Apple"=>[1, 5.99], "Banana"=>[5, 9.99]}

I iterate over the result set and I am a bit lost how to add another element to the array ...

Any help is most appreciated

Greetings

If your hash is called, for example, the hshApple array can be accessed via hsh["Apple"]. You can use this as any variable, so adding a value to this array is simple hsh["Apple"] << some_value. For example:

irb> hsh = { "Apple" => [1, 5.99], "Banana" => [5, 9.99] }
irb> hsh["Apple"] << 9999
=> { "Apple" => [1, 5.99, 9999], "Banana" => [5, 9.99] }
