Dictionary type.

<description>

Dictionary type. Associative container which contains values referenced by unique keys. Dictionary are composed of pairs of keys (which must be unique) and values. You can define a dictionary by placing a comma separated list of [code]key: value[/code] pairs in curly braces [code]{}[/code].
|
|
Erasing elements while iterating over them [b]is not supported[/b].
|
|
Creating a dictionary:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var my_dir = {} # Creates an empty dictionary.
|
|
var points_dir = {"White": 50, "Yellow": 75, "Orange": 100}
|
|
var my_dir = {
|
|
key1: value1,
|
|
key2: value2,
|
|
key3: value3,
|
|
}
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
You can access values of a dictionary by referencing appropriate key in above example [code]points_dir["White"][/code] would return value of 50.
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
export(String, "White", "Yellow", "Orange") var my_color
|
|
var points_dir = {"White": 50, "Yellow": 75, "Orange": 100}
|
|
|
|
func _ready():
|
|
var points = points_dir[my_color]
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
In the above code [code]points[/code] will be assigned the value that is paired with the appropriate color selected in [code]my_color[/code].
|
|
Dictionaries can contain more complex data:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
my_dir = {"First Array": [1, 2, 3, 4]} # Assigns an Array to a String key.
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
To add a key to an existing dictionary, access it like an existing key and assign to it:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var points_dir = {"White": 50, "Yellow": 75, "Orange": 100}
|
|
var points_dir["Blue"] = 150 # Add "Blue" as a key and assign 150 as its value.
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
Finally, dictionaries can contain different types of keys and values in the same dictionary:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var my_dir = {"String Key": 5, 4: [1, 2, 3], 7: "Hello"} # This is a valid dictionary.
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Unlike [Array]s you can't compare dictionaries directly:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
array1 = [1, 2, 3]
|
|
array2 = [1, 2, 3]
|
|
|
|
func compare_arrays():
|
|
print(array1 == array2) # Will print true.
|
|
|
|
dir1 = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}
|
|
dir2 = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}
|
|
|
|
func compare_dictionaries():
|
|
print(dir1 == dir2) # Will NOT print true.
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
You need to first calculate the dictionary's hash with [method hash] before you can compare them:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
dir1 = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}
|
|
dir2 = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}
|
|
|
|
func compare_dictionaries():
|
|
print(dir1.hash() == dir2.hash()) # Will print true.
|
|
[/codeblock]
