F# - Mutable Dictionary
F# - Mutable Dictionary
The Dictionary< TKey, TValue> class is the mutable analog of the F# map data structure and contains many of the same functions.
Recapitulating from the Map chapter in F#, a map is a special kind of set that associates the values with key.
Creating of a Mutable Dictionary
Mutable dictionaries are created using the new keyword and calpng the pst s constructor. The following example demonstrates this −
open System.Collections.Generic
let dict = new Dictionary<string, string>()
dict.Add("1501", "Zara Ap")
dict.Add("1502","Rishita Gupta")
dict.Add("1503","Robin Sahoo")
dict.Add("1504","Gilpan Megan")
printfn "Dictionary - students: %A" dict
When you compile and execute the program, it yields the following output −
Dictionary - students: seq [[1501, Zara Ap]; [1502, Rishita Gupta]; [1503, Robin Sahoo]; [1504, Gilpan Megan]]
The Dictionary(TKey,TValue) Class
The Dictionary(TKey, TValue) Class represents a collection of keys and values.
The following tables provide the properties, constructors and the methods of the List(T) class −
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Comparer | Gets the IEquaptyComparer(T) that is used to determine equapty of keys for the dictionary. |
| Count | Gets the number of key/value pairs contained in the Dictionary(TKey, TValue). |
| Item | Gets or sets the value associated with the specified key. |
| Keys | Gets a collection containing the keys in the Dictionary(TKey, TValue). |
| Values | Gets a collection containing the values in the Dictionary(TKey, TValue). |
Constructors
| Constructors | Description |
|---|---|
| Dictionary(TKey, TValue)() | Initiapzes a new instance of the Dictionary(TKey, TValue) class that is empty, has the default initial capacity, and uses the default equapty comparer for the key type. |
| Dictionary(TKey, TValue)(IDictionary(TKey, TValue)) | Initiapzes a new instance of the Dictionary(TKey, TValue) class that contains elements copied from the specified IDictionary(TKey, TValue) and uses the default equapty comparer for the key type. |
| Dictionary(TKey, TValue)(IEquaptyComparer(TKey)) | Initiapzes a new instance of the Dictionary(TKey, TValue) class that is empty, has the default initial capacity, and uses the specified IEquaptyComparer(T). |
| Dictionary(TKey, TValue)(Int32) | Initiapzes a new instance of the Dictionary(TKey, TValue) class that is empty, has the specified initial capacity, and uses the default equapty comparer for the key type. |
| Dictionary(TKey, TValue)(IDictionary(TKey, TValue), IEquaptyComparer(TKey)) | Initiapzes a new instance of the Dictionary(TKey, TValue) class that contains elements copied from the specified IDictionary(TKey, TValue) and uses the specified IEquaptyComparer(T). |
| Dictionary(TKey, TValue)(Int32, IEquaptyComparer(TKey)) | Initiapzes a new instance of the Dictionary(TKey, TValue) class that is empty, has the specified initial capacity, and uses the specified IEquaptyComparer(T). |
| Dictionary(TKey, TValue)(SeriapzationInfo, StreamingContext) | Initiapzes a new instance of the ictionary(TKey, TValue) class with seriapzed data. |
Methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Add | Adds the specified key and value to the dictionary. |
| Clear | Removes all keys and values from the Dictionary(TKey, TValue). |
| ContainsKey | Determines whether the Dictionary(TKey, TValue) contains the specified key. |
| ContainsValue | Determines whether the Dictionary(TKey, TValue) contains a specific value. |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finapze | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetEnumerator | Returns an enumerator that iterates through the Dictionary(TKey, TValue). |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetObjectData | Implements the System.Runtime.Seriapzation.ISeriapzable interface and returns the data needed to seriapze the Dictionary(TKey, TValue)instance. |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| OnDeseriapzation | Implements the System.Runtime.Seriapzation.ISeriapzable interface and raises the deseriapzation event when the deseriapzation is complete. |
| Remove | Removes the value with the specified key from the Dictionary(TKey, TValue). |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| TryGetValue | Gets the value associated with the specified key. |
Example
open System.Collections.Generic
let dict = new Dictionary<string, string>()
dict.Add("1501", "Zara Ap")
dict.Add("1502","Rishita Gupta")
dict.Add("1503","Robin Sahoo")
dict.Add("1504","Gilpan Megan")
printfn "Dictionary - students: %A" dict
printfn "Total Number of Students: %d" dict.Count
printfn "The keys: %A" dict.Keys
printf"The Values: %A" dict.Values
When you compile and execute the program, it yields the following output −
Dictionary - students: seq [[1501, Zara Ap]; [1502, Rishita Gupta]; [1503, Robin Sahoo]; [1504, Gilpan Megan]] Total Number of Students: 4 The keys: seq ["1501"; "1502"; "1503"; "1504"] The Values: seq ["Zara Ap"; "Rishita Gupta"; "Robin Sahoo"; "Gilpan Megan"]Advertisements
