Well, since you have the data in an array, you can't index into it like you
could in a Hash. There you could have
{ 'AL' => 'Alabama', ... }
and then you could find by either keys or values using
name = ADDRESS_STATE_TYPES['AL']
or
code = ADDRESS_STATE_TYPES.key('Alabama').
But in an array, you're going to have to iterate to find it:
def name_for_code(code)
ADDRESS_STATE_TYPES.each do | pair |
return pair.first if pair.last == code
end
end
