Create a Hash object that links keys to values and returns a pre-specified element when a key is unknown.

Defining a Hash
# using => key does not need to be quoted unless it contains special chars my %hash = ( key1 => 'val1', 'key-2' => 2, three => -238.83, 4 => 'val3', ); # using , both key and value need to be quoted if containing something non-numeric in nature my %hash = ( 'key1', 'val1', 'key-2', 2, 'three', -238.83, 4, 'val3', );
Defining a HashRef
my $hashref = { key1 => 'val1', 'key-2' => 2, three => -238.83, 4 => 'val3', }
Using a Hash
print $hash{'key1'}; $hash{'key1'} = 'val1'; @hash{'key1', 'three'} = ('val1', -238.83);
Using a HashRef
print $hash->{'key1'}; $hash->{'key1'} = 'val1'; @hash->{'key1', 'three'} = ('val1', -238.83);

Defining a Hash
//HashTable is part of System.Collections using System.Collections; HashTable h = new HashTable();
Adding values
h.add( "key1" , "foo" ); h.add( "key2" , "bar" );
or
h["key1"] = "foo"; h["key2"] = "bar";
Ruby
#a hash object that returns nil for unknown keys hash={} hash[666]='devil' hash[777] # => nil hash[666] # => 'devil'
#a hash object that returns 'unknown key' for unknown keys hash=Hash.new('unknown key') hash[666]='devil' hash[777] # => 'unknown key' hash[666] # => 'devil'
#a hash object that returns "unknown key #{key}" for unknown keys hash=Hash.new{|h,k|h[k]="unknown key #{k}"} hash[666]='devil' hash[777] # => 'unknown key 777' hash[666] # => 'devil'
