[Chicago-talk] Combine like hash elements

[imran javaid]

I am guessing there is a typo in the sample input data. In the third entry,
isn't the key and ID value supposed to be the same? Is it supposed to be 11
or 13? If it is the way it is or if it really is 13, then you need to
arbitrate which key and/or ID the resulting hash will have.

{
'11' => {'AMOUNT' => '20.00','ID' => '11','NAME' => 'Lincoln Park'},
'12' => {'AMOUNT' => '38.00','ID' => '12','NAME' => 'Bucktown'},
'13' => {'AMOUNT' => '41.00','ID' => '12','NAME' => 'Lincoln Park'}
}
