6.90 LookupTable

Defined in namespace Smalltalk
Category: Collections-Keyed
I am similar to Dictionary, except that my representation is different (more efficient, but not as friendly to the virtual machine). I use the object equality comparision message = to determine equivalence of indices.

6.90.1 LookupTable class: instance creation

new
Create a new LookupTable with a default size


6.90.2 LookupTable: accessing

add: anAssociation
Add the anAssociation key to the receiver

associationAt: key ifAbsent: aBlock
Answer the key/value Association for the given key. Evaluate aBlock (answering the result) if the key is not found

at: key ifAbsent: aBlock
Answer the value associated to the given key, or the result of evaluating aBlock if the key is not found

at: aKey ifPresent: aBlock
If aKey is absent, answer nil. Else, evaluate aBlock passing the associated value and answer the result of the invocation

at: key put: value
Store value as associated to the given key


6.90.3 LookupTable: copying

deepCopy
Returns a deep copy of the receiver (the instance variables are copies of the receiver's instance variables)


6.90.4 LookupTable: enumerating

associationsDo: aBlock
Pass each association in the LookupTable to aBlock

keysAndValuesDo: aBlock
Pass each key/value pair in the LookupTable as two distinct parameters to aBlock


6.90.5 LookupTable: rehashing

rehash
Rehash the receiver


6.90.6 LookupTable: removing

removeKey: key ifAbsent: aBlock
