update(p1) public

Adds the contents of other_hash to hsh. If no block is specified entries with duplicate keys are overwritten with the values from other_hash, otherwise the value of each duplicate key is determined by calling the block with the key, its value in hsh and its value in other_hash.

   h1 = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 }
   h2 = { "b" => 254, "c" => 300 }
   h1.merge!(h2)   #=> {"a"=>100, "b"=>254, "c"=>300}

   h1 = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 }
   h2 = { "b" => 254, "c" => 300 }
   h1.merge!(h2) { |key, v1, v2| v1 }
                   #=> {"a"=>100, "b"=>200, "c"=>300}
