[Lib] beDict

beDict

beDict is an ordered dictionary implementation for Bitty Engine.

Differences from Lua table:

• Its keys are ordered, instead of hashed
• Supports # to get item count

Note that beDict is not optimized for array, it's only another alternative of mapped table.

require 'libs/beDict/beDict'

local dict = beDict.Dict.new()
dict['one'] = 1
dict['two'] = '2'
dict['pi'] = 22 / 7
dict[42] = 123
dict['removed'] = true

dict['removed'] = nil
print('Removed: ', dict['removed'])

print('Length: ', #dict)

for i, k in ipairs(dict:keys()) do
	print('Key: ', i, ': ', k)
end

for k, v in pairs(dict) do
	print('Mapped: ', k, ': ', v)
end

dict:clear()
print('Empty: ', #dict == 0)
