Set

Inserts or updates the value for a key.

Module: Std::HashMap

Signature

func Set(self, key: int, value: *opaque);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
key	int	The key to insert or update.
value	*opaque	The pointer value to associate with it.

Description

Associates value with key. If the key already exists, its value is replaced; otherwise a new entry is added. The map grows automatically when it gets full, so inserts are amortized O(1).

Example

import Std::HashMap::*;

var map: HashMap;
Init(&map);
map.Set(42, payload);        // insert
map.Set(42, newPayload);     // update existing key
map.Free();
