Hi,

In a VectorMap, is there any way to replace a Value maintaining its Key? Is the only way: Remove the element (by the Key) and to Add it again with the same Key but with the new Value?

Thank you.

Cheers,

Javier

Or just simple assignment indexed by key or index?

Would you mind writing the VectorMap method/function you are mentioning?

Thank you.

Hi Javier,

I believe cbporter meant this:

	VectorMap<String,int> map
	map.Get("key")=2;
	map[map.Find("key")]=3;

Sorry for giving you such short answer as well, but those are quite trivial and there is not much to say Smile

Sorry for the thread necromancy. But both

map.Get("key")=2;
map[map.Find("key")]=3;

Gives an assertion fail when the key is not in the map.

Tried with Add but it will just add another copy instead of replacing the value.

Granted, some times one wants to keep the extra copies. But sometimes is just a waste of memory and cycles.

This, however, seems to work:

int i = map.Find("key");
if(0 > i) {
  map.Add("key",2);
} else {
  map[i] = 2;
}

Maybe a Set Function should be added to AMap

T& Set(const K& k, const T& x) {
  int i = Find(k);
  if(0 > i) {
    return Add(k,x);
  } else {
    value[i] = x;
  }
  return value[i];
}

so that the code becomes:

map.Set("key",2);

Hi rxantos

Such methods already exist Wink

Look at FindAdd and GetAdd in the reference.

Best regards,
Honza

PS: Ahh, omari was faster Smile
