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"
ruby
puts "ok" if map.has_key?('mary')
puts "ok" if map['mary'] # Only works if map entry can't be nil or false
clojure
(if (contains? '{joe cat mary turtle bill canary} 'mary)
(println "ok"))
(println "ok"))
cpp
if (pets->ContainsKey("mary")) Console::WriteLine("ok");
if (pets.find("mary") != pets.end()){
std::cout << "ok" << std::endl;
}
std::cout << "ok" << std::endl;
}
if (pets.count("mary") > 0)
cout << "ok" << endl;
cout << "ok" << endl;
erlang
dict:is_key(mary, Pets) andalso begin io:format("ok~n"), true end.
IsMember = ets:member(Pets, mary), if (IsMember) -> io:format("ok~n") ; true -> false end.
case gb_trees:lookup(mary, Pets) of none -> false ; _ -> io:format("ok~n") end.
Retrieve a value from a map
Given a map pets
{joe:cat,mary:turtle,bill:canary} print the pet for "joe" ("cat")
ruby
puts map['joe']
clojure
(def pets '{joe cat mary turtle bill canary})
(println (get pets 'joe))
(println (get pets 'joe))
cpp
if (pets->ContainsKey("joe")) Console::WriteLine(pets["joe"]);
cout << pets["joe"] << endl;
erlang
dict:is_key(joe, Pets) andalso begin io:format("~w~n", [dict:fetch(joe, Pets)]), true end.
case dict:find(joe, Pets) of error -> false ; {ok, Pet} -> io:format("~w~n", [Pet]) end.
IsMember = ets:member(Pets, joe), if (IsMember) -> io:format("~w~n", [ets:lookup_element(Pets, joe, 2)]) ; true -> false end.
case ets:match(Pets, {joe, '$1'}) of [] -> false ; [[Pet]] -> io:format("~w~n", [Pet]) end.
case gb_trees:lookup(joe, Pets) of none -> false ; {value, Pet} -> io:format("~w~n", [Pet]) end.
Add an entry to a map
Given an empty pets map, add the mapping from
"rob" to "dog"
ruby
pets['rob']='dog'
clojure
(assoc {} 'rob 'dog)
cpp
pets->Add("rob", "dog");
pets["rob"] = "dog";
erlang
Pets1 = dict:store(rob, dog, Pets0).
ets:insert(Pets, {rob, dog}).
Pets1 = gb_trees:enter(rob, dog, Pets0).
Remove an entry from a map
Given a map pets
{joe:cat,mary:turtle,bill:canary} remove the mapping for "bill" and print "canary"
ruby
puts map.delete :bill
clojure
; Maps are immutable
; The following expression will return a new map without the 'bill key
(let [pets '{joe cat mary turtle bill canary}]
(println (get pets 'bill))
(dissoc pets 'bill))
; The following expression will return a new map without the 'bill key
(let [pets '{joe cat mary turtle bill canary}]
(println (get pets 'bill))
(dissoc pets 'bill))
cpp
if (pets->ContainsKey("bill"))
{
String^ value = safe_cast<String^>(pets["bill"]); pets->Remove("bill");
Console::WriteLine("{0}", value);
}
{
String^ value = safe_cast<String^>(pets["bill"]); pets->Remove("bill");
Console::WriteLine("{0}", value);
}
erlang
Pet = dict:fetch(bill, Pets0), Pets1 = dict:erase(bill, Pets0), io:format("~w~n", [Pet]),
Pet = ets:lookup_element(Pets, bill, 2), ets:delete(Pets, bill), io:format("~w~n", [Pet]),
{value, Pet} = gb_trees:lookup(bill, Pets0), Pets1 = gb_trees:delete(bill, Pets0), io:format("~w~n", [Pet]),
