Looping through hash and sub-hash.

# Need a little push in the right direction.
@prices = [
  "amazon_new" => [
		"image" => "imageurl.com",
		"url" => "bookurl.com",
		"price" => 45.55
	],
 
	"amazon_used" => [
		"image" => "2ndImageUrl.com",
		"url" => "2ndbookurl.com",
		"price" => 67.45
	]

@prices.each do |p|
	p.each do |x|
		x["image"]
        # Can't convert string into integer.
	end
end

You get this error when you try to access an array as a hash. ie

array = (1..4).to_a

array['image'] # can't convert string into integer

try to look again at how @prices is declared. judging from the code

you pasted, you want @prices to be a hash but it's using square braces.

You are mixing up arrays and hashes. Below is an all hash example.

@prices = {
  "amazon_new" => {
    "image" => "imageurl.com",
    "url" => "bookurl.com",
    "price" => 45.55
  },
  "amazon_used" => {
    "image" => "2ndImageUrl.com",
    "url" => "2ndbookurl.com",
    "price" => 67.45
  }
}

@prices.each_pair do |type, data|
  puts "#{type} : #{data['image']}"
end

and here is an array / hash example

@prices = [

  {
    "image" => "imageurl.com",
    "url" => "bookurl.com",
    "price" => 45.55
  },

  {

    "image" => "2ndImageUrl.com",
    "url" => "2ndbookurl.com",
    "price" => 67.45
  }
]

@prices.each do |data|
  puts data['image']
end

	end<
/span>
end
