Maps, also known ad dictionaries in Python, are created using the Map statement. They may hold numeric or string data. Access to specific elements in a map is accomplished by using square brackets along with the string key associated with the element.
You may use the Array length [?] operator or the Length function.
Internally maps are stores in alphabetic order. You may easily loop through a map using the For Next statement.
map grades grades['bob'] = 90 grades['mary'] = 96 grades['jimmy'] = 76 total = 0 foreach name in grades ? name, grades[name] total = total + grades[name] next name ? "the class average is", total/length(grades)
displays <code> bob 90 jimmy 76 mary 96 the class average is 87.3333333333 </code> ==== History ==== |2.0.0.0|New to version|
