===== Map Elements =====

==== Format ====

**map** [ [[stringexpressions|key]] ]

==== Description ====

After you specify that a variable is a map, by using the [[Map|Map]] statement, you can set and retrieve values from the map using square braces containing the key.

Keys should be string values/expressions.  If you use an integer or a float as the key, it will be converted to a string.
