Collection (gb)

This class implements an hash table whose keys are String and values are Variant.

NULL is used when nothing is associated with a given key. Consequently, associating NULL with a key is the same thing as removing it from the collection.

The size of the internal hash table grows dynamically as data is inserted.

  DIM cCopy AS Collection
  DIM sAbbr AS String
  
  ' To access the data
  PRINT cAbbr2Weekday["fr"]
  
  ' Print mapping key to value
  FOR EACH sAbbr IN cAbbr2Weekday
    PRINT cAbbr2Weekday.Key & " --> " & sAbbr
  NEXT

  ' Lenght/Count return both 7
  PRINT cAbbr2Weekday.Count
  PRINT cAbbr2Weekday.Length

  ' Add element and remove it again
  cAbbr2Weekday.Add("sat", "Saturday")
