Define an unmodifiable empty map

Define an initial map
Define the map

Check if a key exists in a map
Given a map pets
{joe:cat,mary:turtle,bill:canary} print "ok" if an pet exists for "mary"
fsharp
if (Map.mem "mary" pets) then printfn "ok"
if pets.ContainsKey("mary") then printfn "ok"
fantom
map := ["joe":"cat", "mary":"turtle", "bill":"canary"]
if (map.containsKey("mary")) echo("ok")
if (map.containsKey("mary")) echo("ok")
groovy
pets = [joe:'cat', mary:'turtle', bill:'canary']
if(pets.containsKey('mary')) println 'ok'
if(pets.containsKey('mary')) println 'ok'
pets = [joe:'cat', mary:'turtle', bill:'canary']
if(pets.mary) println 'ok'
if(pets.mary) println 'ok'
Retrieve a value from a map
Given a map pets
{joe:cat,mary:turtle,bill:canary} print the pet for "joe" ("cat")
fsharp
if (Map.mem "joe" pets) then printfn "%s" (Map.find "joe" pets)
if (pets |> Map.exists (fun key _ -> key = "joe")) then printfn "%s" (Map.find "joe" pets)
let key = "joe"
match (pets |> Map.tryfind key) with
| Some(value) -> printfn "%s" value
| None -> printfn "Key %s not found" key
match (pets |> Map.tryfind key) with
| Some(value) -> printfn "%s" value
| None -> printfn "Key %s not found" key
if pets.ContainsKey("joe") then printfn "%s" pets.["joe"]
if pets.ContainsKey("joe") then printfn "%s" (pets.["joe"] :?> string)
fantom
map := ["joe":"cat", "mary":"turtle", "bill":"canary"]
pet := map["joe"]
echo("pet=$pet")
pet := map["joe"]
echo("pet=$pet")
groovy
pets = [joe:'cat', mary:'turtle', bill:'canary']
assert pets['joe'] == 'cat'
assert pets['joe'] == 'cat'
assert pets.joe == 'cat'
Add an entry to a map
Given an empty pets map, add the mapping from
"rob" to "dog"
fsharp
pets <- (Map.add "rob" "dog" pets)
pets.Add("rob", "dog")
fantom
map["rob"] = "dog"
groovy
pets['rob'] = 'dog'
pets.rob = 'dog'
pets.put('rob', 'dog')
Remove an entry from a map
Given a map pets
{joe:cat,mary:turtle,bill:canary} remove the mapping for "bill" and print "canary"
fsharp
let key = "bill"
match (pets |> Map.tryFind key) with
| Some(value) -> pets <- (Map.remove key pets) ; printfn "%s : %s removed" key value
| None -> printfn "Key %s not found" key
match (pets |> Map.tryFind key) with
| Some(value) -> pets <- (Map.remove key pets) ; printfn "%s : %s removed" key value
| None -> printfn "Key %s not found" key
let key = "bill"
let entry = if (pets.ContainsKey(key)) then Some(pets.[key]) ; else None
pets.Remove(key)
match entry with
| Some(value) -> printfn "%s" value
| None -> printfn "key not found"
let entry = if (pets.ContainsKey(key)) then Some(pets.[key]) ; else None
pets.Remove(key)
match entry with
| Some(value) -> printfn "%s" value
| None -> printfn "key not found"
fantom
pet := map.remove("bill")
echo ("pet=$pet")
echo ("pet=$pet")
groovy
pets = [joe:'cat', mary:'turtle', bill:'canary']
println pets.remove('bill')
println pets.remove('bill')
Create a histogram map from a list
Given the list
[a,b,a,c,b,b], produce a map {a:2, b:3, c:1} which contains the count of each unique item in the list
fsharp
let histogram = (List.foldLeft (fun (acc : Map<char, int>) (e : char) -> if (Map.mem e acc) then (Map.add e ((Map.find e acc) + 1) acc) ; else (Map.add e 1 acc)) (Map.empty) list)
let histogram list =
let rec histogram' list' dict' =
match list' with
| [] -> dict'
| x :: xs ->
match Map.tryFind x dict' with
| Some(Value) -> histogram' xs (Map.add x (Value + 1) dict')
| None -> histogram' xs (Map.add x 1 dict')
histogram' list Map.empty
// ------
let histogram' = histogram list
let rec histogram' list' dict' =
match list' with

| x :: xs ->
match Map.tryFind x dict' with

histogram' list Map.empty
// ------
let histogram' = histogram list
let histogram = (List.foldLeft (fun (acc : Generic.Dictionary<char, int>) (e : char) -> (if acc.ContainsKey(e) then acc.[e] <- acc.[e] + 1 ; else acc.Add(e, 1)) ; acc) (new Generic.Dictionary<char, int>()) list)

Categorise a list
Given the list
[one, two, three, four, five] produce a map {3:[one, two], 4:[four, five], 5:[three]} which sorts elements into map entries based on their length
fsharp
let catmap = (List.foldLeft (fun (acc : Map<int, List<string> >) (e : string) -> if (Map.mem e.Length acc) then (Map.add e.Length ((Map.find e.Length acc) @ [e]) acc) ; else (Map.add e.Length [e] acc)) (Map.empty) list)
let lengthMap =
["one"; "two"; "three"; "four"; "five"]
|> Seq.groupBy (fun s -> s.Length)
|> Seq.map (fun (length, entries) -> (length, entries |> List.ofSeq))
|> Map.ofSeq
["one"; "two"; "three"; "four"; "five"]
|> Seq.groupBy (fun s -> s.Length)
|> Seq.map (fun (length, entries) -> (length, entries |> List.ofSeq))
|> Map.ofSeq
fantom

list.each { List l := map[it.size] ?: [,]; map[it.size] = l.add(it) }
