set

Builtin index · Collections & strings

result = get(d, key) / set(d, key, value)

Input: d, key · Output: result

What it is

d is a Dict; key is a Str/number; value (for set) is any value. get returns the stored value (any type) or none if key is absent. set returns a new Dict with that entry written — it does not modify d in place, so assign the result.

Overloads

One call shape — this function is not overloaded.

Examples

From the documentation, and run by the build -- the output and the figure below are what the engine actually produced. Simplest first.

d = dict(["a", "b"], [1, 2])
d = set(d, "c", 3)
print(get(d, "b"))       # 2

print(keys(d))           # ("a", "b", "c")

print(values(d))         # (1, 2, 3)

print(items(d))          # (("a", 1), ("b", 2), ("c", 3))

print(has_key(d, "c"))   # true

print(has_key(d, "z"))   # false

2
("a", "b", "c")
(1, 2, 3)
(("a", 1), ("b", 2), ("c", 3))
true
false
