Create an object/Native demonstration is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Create a Hash/Associative Array/Dictionary-like object, initialized with some default key/value pairs using the languages native method of object creation. The object should behave like a native Hash/Associative Array/Dictionary of the language, if any, but with the following differences:

  • No new item can be added;
  • Item cannot be deleted, (but native delete method may used to reset the item's value to default) ;

If the language supports Magic Methods, then show how these work.

C++

<lang cpp>#include <iostream>

  1. include <map>
  2. include <utility>

using namespace std;

template<typename T> class FixedMap : private T {

   // Two standard maps are used to implement FixedMap.  One as a private
   // base class that will allow the values (but not the keys) to be modified.
   // Members of a private base class are not exposed to the derived class which will
   // prevent keys from being added or deleted. Another map will hold copies of
   // the initial values.
   T m_defaultValues;
   

public:

   FixedMap(T map)
   : T(map), m_defaultValues(move(map)){}
   
   // Expose members of the base class that are not able to add or remove keys so 
   // that FixedMap will behave like a standard container.
   using T::begin;
   using T::cbegin;
   using T::end;
   using T::cend;
   using T::at;
   using T::empty;
   using T::find;
   using T::size;
   
   // The [] operator will normally add a new key if the key is not already in the
   // map.  Instead, throw an error if the key is missing.
   auto& operator[](typename T::key_type key)
   {
       auto iterator = this->find(key);
       if(iterator == this->end()) throw out_of_range("key not found");
       return iterator->second;
   }
   
   // Reset the value of key to its initial value.  Throws an error
   // if the key is missing.
   void reset(typename T::key_type key)
   {
       T::operator[](key) = m_defaultValues.at(key);
   }

};

// Print the contents of a map auto PrintMap = [](const auto &map) {

   for(auto &[key, value] : map)
   {
       cout << "{" << key << " : " << value << "} ";
   }
   cout << "\n";

};

int main(void) {

   // Create a fixed map based on the standard map
   FixedMap<map<const char *, int>> fixedMap ({
       {"a", 1},
       {"b", 2}});
   PrintMap(fixedMap);
   
   // Change the values of the keys
   fixedMap["a"] = 55;
   fixedMap["b"] = 56;
   PrintMap(fixedMap);
   
   // Reset a key
   fixedMap.reset("a");
   PrintMap(fixedMap);
   
   try
   {
       // Adding or retrieving a missing key is a run time error
       fixedMap["newKey"] = 99;
   }
   catch (exception &ex)
   {
       cout << "error: " << ex.what();
   }   

} </lang>

Output:
{a : 1} {b : 2} 
{a : 55} {b : 56} 
{a : 1} {b : 56} 
error: key not found

D

Translation of: Python

<lang d>struct DefaultAA(TK, TV) {

   TV[TK] standard, current;
   this(TV[TK] default_) pure /*nothrow*/ @safe {
       this.standard = default_;
       this.current = default_.dup;
   }
   alias current this;
   void remove(in TK key) pure nothrow {
       current[key] = standard[key];
   }
   void clear() pure /*nothrow*/ @safe {
       current = standard.dup;
   }

}

void main() {

   import std.stdio;
   auto d = ["a": 1, "b": 2].DefaultAA!(string, int);
   d.writeln;                // ["a":1, "b":2]
   d["a"] = 55; d["b"] = 66;
   d.writeln;                // ["a":55, "b":66]
   d.clear;
   d.writeln;                // ["a":1, "b":2]
   d["a"] = 55; d["b"] = 66;
   d["a"].writeln;           // 55
   d.remove("a");
   d.writeln;                // ["a":1, "b":66]

}</lang>

Output:
["a":1, "b":2]
["a":55, "b":66]
["a":1, "b":2]
55
["a":1, "b":66]

Go

Go's built-in map type is mutable and so, to complete this task, we need to create a read-only wrapper for it which doesn't permit further items to be added or existing items to be deleted though does allow them to be reset to their default value.

First create a sub-directory, romap, of the project directory and place the following package in it: <lang go>package romap

type Romap struct{ imap map[byte]int }

// Create new read-only wrapper for the given map. func New(m map[byte]int) *Romap {

   if m == nil {
       return nil
   }
   return &Romap{m}

}

// Retrieve value for a given key, if it exists. func (rom *Romap) Get(key byte) (int, bool) {

   i, ok := rom.imap[key]
   return i, ok

}

// Reset value for a given key, if it exists. func (rom *Romap) Reset(key byte) {

   _, ok := rom.imap[key]
   if ok {
       rom.imap[key] = 0 // default value of int
   }

}</lang>

This package can now be imported and used within the main package as follows: <lang go>package main

import (

   "./romap"
   "fmt"

)

func main() {

   // create a normal map
   m := map[byte]int{'A': 65, 'B': 66, 'C': 67}
   // place it in a read-only wrapper so no new item can be added or item deleted.
   rom := romap.New(m)
   // retrieve value represented by 'C' say
   i, _ := rom.Get('C')
   fmt.Println("'C' maps to", i)
   // reset this to default value (doesn't actually delete the key)
   rom.Reset('C')
   i, _ = rom.Get('C')
   fmt.Println("'C' now maps to", i)

}</lang>

Output:
'C' maps to 67
'C' now maps to 0

J

Given a list of keys and an associated list of values, the idiomatic way of expressing this concept in J would be:

<lang j>lookup=: values {~ keys&i.</lang>

For example:

<lang j> lookup=: 10 20 30 40 50 {~ (;:'this is a test')&i.

  lookup ;:'a test'

30 40</lang>

Notes:

1) While the result can not be modified or deleted, the name used to refer to it can be made to refer to something else, and once all references are lost it will be garbage collected.

2) In the above example, we have 5 values and 4 keys. The extra value is used when no key is found. If no extra value was provided, the "key not found" case would be an error case.

3) In J, objects are always referenced, but all data is passed by value. This means that objects can never be passed to a function -- only a reference to an object (its name) can be passed. This means that objects exist only in the way things are named, in J. So for the most part, we do not call things "objects" in J, and this task has nothing to do with what are called "objects" in J. However, this does demonstrate how things are created in J -- you write their definition, and can use them and/or assign to names or inspect them or whatever else.

Java

Java supports unmodifiable maps, sets, lists, and other more specialized unmodifiable collections. In this example, we have a unmodifiable map. We first create an ordinary map, modify as needed, then call the Collections.unmodifiableMap. We can subsequently read the map, but modification is not permitted. The returned map will subsequently throw a UnsupportedOperationException exception if a mutation operator is called. Several are demonstrated below.

<lang java> import java.util.Collections; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map;

// Title: Create an object/Native demonstration

public class ImmutableMap {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
       Map<String,Integer> hashMap = getImmutableMap();
       try {
           hashMap.put("Test", 23);
       }
       catch (UnsupportedOperationException e) {
           System.out.println("ERROR:  Unable to put new value.");
       }
       try {
           hashMap.clear();
       }
       catch (UnsupportedOperationException e) {
           System.out.println("ERROR:  Unable to clear map.");
       }
       try {
           hashMap.putIfAbsent("Test", 23);
       }
       catch (UnsupportedOperationException e) {
           System.out.println("ERROR:  Unable to put if absent.");
       }
       
       for ( String key : hashMap.keySet() ) {
           System.out.printf("key = %s, value = %s%n", key, hashMap.get(key));
       }
   }
   
   private static Map<String,Integer> getImmutableMap() {
       Map<String,Integer> hashMap = new HashMap<>();
       hashMap.put("Key 1", 34);
       hashMap.put("Key 2", 105);
       hashMap.put("Key 3", 144);
       return Collections.unmodifiableMap(hashMap);
   }
   

} </lang>

{out}}

ERROR:  Unable to put new value.
ERROR:  Unable to clear map.
ERROR:  Unable to put if absent.
key = Key 1, value = 34
key = Key 2, value = 105
key = Key 3, value = 144

JavaScript

This is a first demonstration of the task, but only implemented the functionality, not any native behavior, eg indexing. JavaScript experts may want to replace this one.

Works with: JavaScript version 1.7

<lang javascript>var keyError = new Error("Invalid Key Error (FixedKeyDict)") ;

function FixedKeyDict(obj) {

   var myDefault = new Object() ;
   var myData    = new Object() ;
   for(k in obj) {
       myDefault[k] = obj[k] ;
       myData[k]    = obj[k] ;
   }
   var gotKey = function(k) {
       for(kk in myDefault) {
           if(kk == k) return true ;
       }
       return false ;        
   } ;
   this.hasKey = gotKey ;
   var checkKey = function(k) {
       if(!gotKey(k))
           throw keyError ;
   } ;
  
   this.getItem = function(k) {
       checkKey(k) ;
       return myData[k];
   } ;
   
   this.setItem = function(k, v) {
       checkKey(k) ;
       myData[k] = v ;
   } ;
   
   this.resetItem = function(k) {
       checkKey(k) ;
       myData[k] = myDefault[k] ;      
   } ;
   
   this.delItem = this.resetItem ;
   
   this.clear   = function() {
       for(k in myDefault)
           myData[k] = myDefault[k] ;
   } ;
   
   this.iterator = function() {
       for(k in myDefault)
           yield (k);            
   } ;
   
   this.clone    = function() {
       return new FixedKeyDict(myDefault) ;
   }
   
   this.toStr = function() {
       var s = "" ;
       for(key in myData)
           s = s + key + " => " + myData[key] + ", " ;
       return "FixedKeyDict{" + s + "}" ;
   } ; 

}</lang>

Test run:

<lang javascript> const BR = "
\n"

var pl = function(s) {

   document.write(s + BR) ;

} ;

pl("

") ;

var o = { foo:101, bar:102 } ;

var h = new FixedKeyDict(o) ;
pl("Fixed Key Dict Created") ;
pl("toString   : " + h.toStr()) ;
pl("get an item: " + h.getItem("foo")) ;
pl("check a key: " + h.hasKey("boo")) ;
pl("ditto      : " + h.hasKey("bar")) ;
h.setItem("bar", 999) ;
pl("set an item: " + h.toStr()) ;
pl("Test iterator (or whatever)") ;
for(k in h.iterator())
    pl("  " + k + " => " + h.getItem(k)) ;
var g = h.clone() ;
pl("Clone a dict") ;
pl("  clone    : " + g.toStr()) ;
pl("  original : " + h.toStr()) ;
h.clear() ;
pl("clear or reset the dict") ;
pl("           : " + h.toStr()) ;
try {
    h.setItem("NoNewKey", 666 ) ;
} catch(e) {
    pl("error test : " + e.message) ;
}
</lang>

output :

<pre>

jq

jq objects are JSON objects and can be created using JSON syntax, e.g. <lang jq>{"language": "jq"}</lang> Objects can also be created programmatically, e.g. <lang jq>{"one": 1} + {"two": 2}</lang>

jq objects, however, are really just values: they are immutable, and cannot be "deleted" any more than the number 1 can be deleted.

Julia

<lang Julia> using BackedUpImmutable

function testBackedUpImmutableDict()

   fibr = BackedUpImmutableDict{String,Int64}(["a" => 0, "b" => 1, "c" => 1, "d" => 2,
       "e" => 3, "f" => 5, "g" => 8, "h" => 13, "i" => 21, "j" => 34, "extra" => -1])
   x = fibr["extra"]
   @test x == -1
   fibr["extra"] = 0
   y = fibr["extra"]
   @test y == 0
   restore!(fibr, "extra")
   z = fibr["extra"]
   @test z == -1
   
   @test_throws String begin fibr["k"] = 55 end

   fibr["a"] = 9
   fibr["b"] = 7
   
   # test restore all to default
   restoreall!(fibr)
   
   @test fibr["a"] == 0

end </lang> All tests pass.

Kotlin

<lang scala>// version 1.1.2

fun main(args: Array<String>) {

   // This line creates a read-only map which cannot be changed in any way nor cleared
   val map = mapOf('A' to 65, 'B' to 66, 'C' to 67)
   println(map)

}</lang>

Output:
{A=65, B=66, C=67}

Nim

We leverage native stdlib table as our own object by implementing limited actual native table functionalities. <lang nim>import tables, options

type

 MyTable = object
   table: TableRef[string, int]
  1. return empty if the key is not available

proc `[]`(m: MyTable, key: string): Option[int] =

 if key in m.table: result = some m.table[key]
 else: result = none int
  1. update an item, doing nothing if the key is available during first initialization

proc `[]=`(m: var MyTable, key: string, val: int) =

 if key notin m.table: return
 m.table[key] = val

proc reset(m: var MyTable) =

 for _, v in m.table.mpairs: v = 0
  1. sugar for defining MyTable object

proc toTable(vals: openarray[(string, int)]): MyTable =

 result.table = newTable vals

proc main =

 # MyTable construction
 var myobj = {"key1": 1, "key2": 2, "key3": 3}.toTable
 # test getting existing key
 let val1 = myobj["key1"]
 if val1.isSome: echo "val1: ", val1.get
 # test adding new key
 myobj["key4"] = 4
 let val4 = myobj["key4"]
 if val4.isSome: echo val4.get
 else: echo "val4 is empty"
 # test reset and test whether its value is zero-ed
 reset myobj

Output:

Racket

Translation of: D

This task is implemented as a new fenced-hash time with an interface similar to the native hash. Also it can be used a native dict.

Implementation of functions that handle fenced-hash: <lang Racket>

(struct fenced-hash (actual original) ...)

(define (fenced-hash-ref dict

                        key 
                        [default (lambda () (error "key not found" key))]) 
 (hash-ref (fenced-hash-actual dict) key default)) 

(define (fenced-hash-set! dict key val)

 (unless (hash-has-key? (fenced-hash-actual dict)  key)
   (error "unable to add key" key))
 (hash-set! (fenced-hash-actual dict) key val)) 

(define (fenced-hash-remove! dict key) ;reset the value!

 (unless (hash-has-key? (fenced-hash-actual dict) key)
   (error "key not found" key))
 (hash-set! (fenced-hash-actual dict) 
            key
           (hash-ref (fenced-hash-original dict) key))) 

(define (fenced-hash-clear! dict) ;reset all values!

 (hash-for-each (fenced-hash-original dict) 
                (lambda (key val) (hash-set! (fenced-hash-actual dict) key val))))

(define (fenced-hash-has-key? dict key)

 (hash-has-key? (fenced-hash-actual dict) key))

(define (fenced-hash-count dict)

 (hash-count (fenced-hash-actual dict)))

(define (fenced-hash-iterate-first dict)

 (hash-iterate-first (fenced-hash-actual dict)))

(define (fenced-hash-iterate-next dict pos)

 (hash-iterate-next (fenced-hash-actual dict) pos))

(define (fenced-hash-iterate-key dict pos)

 (hash-iterate-key (fenced-hash-actual dict) pos))

(define (fenced-hash-iterate-value dict pos)

 (hash-iterate-value (fenced-hash-actual dict) pos))

(define (*fenced-hash-print dict port mode)

       ;private custom-write ;mode is ignored
    (write-string "#fenced-hash" port)
    (write (hash->list (fenced-hash-actual dict)) port))</lang>

Definition of the actual structure and a “public” creator: <lang Racket>(struct fenced-hash (actual original)

 #:extra-constructor-name *fenced-hash ;private constructor
 #:omit-define-syntaxes ;not sure this is a good idea
 #:methods gen:custom-write 
 [(define write-proc *fenced-hash-print)]
 #:methods gen:dict 
 [(define dict-ref fenced-hash-ref)
  (define dict-set! fenced-hash-set!) 
  (define dict-remove! fenced-hash-remove!)
  (define dict-has-key? fenced-hash-has-key?) ;unused in 5.6.3
  (define dict-count fenced-hash-count)
  (define dict-iterate-first fenced-hash-iterate-first)
  (define dict-iterate-next fenced-hash-iterate-next)
  (define dict-iterate-key fenced-hash-iterate-key)
  (define dict-iterate-value fenced-hash-iterate-value)])


(define (fenced-hash . args) ; public constructor

 (define original (apply hash args))
 (*fenced-hash (hash-copy original) original))</lang>

Example: Use the fenced-hash functions: <lang Racket>(define d (fenced-hash "a" 1 "b" 2))

(displayln d) (fenced-hash-set! d "a" 55) (fenced-hash-set! d "b" 66) (displayln d) (fenced-hash-clear! d) (displayln d) (fenced-hash-set! d "a" 55) (fenced-hash-set! d "b" 66) (displayln d) (fenced-hash-remove! d "a") (displayln d)</lang>

Output:
#fenced-hash(("b" . 2) ("a" . 1))
#fenced-hash(("b" . 66) ("a" . 55))
#fenced-hash(("b" . 2) ("a" . 1))
#fenced-hash(("b" . 66) ("a" . 55))
#fenced-hash(("b" . 66) ("a" . 1))

Example (continued): Use the same object as a dict. The dict-clear! method is not defined, so we must call fenced-hash-clear! instead. <lang Racket>(fenced-hash-clear! d) (displayln d) (dict-set! d "a" 55) (dict-set! d "b" 66) (displayln d) (fenced-hash-clear! d) ;dict-clear is not defined (displayln d) (dict-set! d "a" 55) (dict-set! d "b" 66) (displayln d) (dict-remove! d "a") (displayln d)</lang>

Output:
#fenced-hash(("b" . 2) ("a" . 1))
#fenced-hash(("b" . 66) ("a" . 55))
#fenced-hash(("b" . 2) ("a" . 1))
#fenced-hash(("b" . 66) ("a" . 55))
#fenced-hash(("b" . 66) ("a" . 1))

Raku

(formerly Perl 6)

Works with: rakudo version 2016.08

Here we use delegation to handle all the normal hash methods that we don't need to override to define our new class. <lang perl6>class FixedHash {

       has $.hash handles *;
       method new(*@args) { self.bless: hash => Hash.new: @args }
       method AT-KEY(FixedHash:D: $key is copy) is rw {
               $!hash.EXISTS-KEY($key) ?? $!hash.AT-KEY($key) !! Failure.new(q{can't store value for unknown key});
       }
       method DELETE-KEY($key) { $!hash.{$key} = Nil }

}

  1. Testing

my $fh = FixedHash.new: "a" => 1, "b" => 2; say $fh<a b>; # 1 2 $fh:delete; say $fh<a b>; # 1 Nil $fh = 42; say $fh<a b>; # 1 42 say $fh<c>; # Nil $fh<c> = 43; # error </lang>

Output:
(1 2)
(1 (Any))
(1 42)
can't store value for unknown key
  in block <unit> at native-demonstration.p6:17

Actually thrown at:
  in block <unit> at native-demonstration.p6:17

By defining FALLBACK any class can handle undefined method calls. Since any class inherits plenty of methods from Any our magic object will be more of a novice conjurer then a master wizard proper.

<lang perl6>class Magic {

       has %.hash;
       multi method FALLBACK($name, |c) is rw { # this will eat any extra parameters
               %.hash{$name}
       }
       multi method FALLBACK($name) is rw {
               %.hash{$name}
       }

}

my $magic = Magic.new; $magic.foo = 10; say $magic.foo; $magic.defined = False; # error</lang>

Output:
10
Cannot modify an immutable Bool

Works with: Ruby version 1.9

<lang ruby># A FencedHash acts like a Hash, but with a fence around its keys.

  1. One may change its values, but not its keys. Any attempt to insert
  2. a new key raises KeyError. One may delete a key, but this only
  3. restores its original value.
  4. FencedHash reimplements these Hash methods: #[] #[]= #clear #delete
  5. #delete_if #default #default= #each_key #each_pair #each_value
  6. #fetch #has_key? #keep_if #keys #length #values #values_at

Tcl

This solution uses a dict(ionary), so requires Tcl 8.5 or better. Variable traces are used to detect write or unset access to such a protected variable, restore it to the backup value at protection time, and throw an exception

<lang Tcl>proc protect _var {

   upvar 1 $_var var
   trace add variable var {write unset} [list protect0 $var]

} proc protect0 {backup name1 name2 op} {

   upvar 1 $name1 var
   trace remove variable var {write unset} [list protect 0 $backup]
   set var $backup
   trace add variable var {write unset} [list protect0 $backup]
   return -code error "$name1 is protected"

} proc trying cmd { #-- convenience function for demo

   puts "trying: $cmd"
   if [catch {uplevel 1 $cmd} msg] {puts $msg}

zkl

zkl has two dictionary objects: SD, a small dictionary that is created immutable and the "regular" dictionary has has a makeReadOnly method. They both behave the same when locked down. <lang zkl">d:=SD("one",1,"two",2); d.keys; //-->L("one","two") d["one"]; //-->1 d.add("three",3); // error thrown d.pop("one") // error thrown</lang>
