    In Lua, "table" is a fundamental type that can be used either as an array (numerical index, fast) or as an associative array. The keys and values can be of any type, except nil. The following focuses on non-numerical indexes. A table literal is written as { value, key = value, [index] = value, ["non id string"] = value }. For example:

  3. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    A multimap generalizes an associative array by allowing multiple values to be associated with a single key. [9] A bidirectional map is a related abstract data type in which the mappings operate in both directions: each value must be associated with a unique key, and a second lookup operation takes a value as an argument and looks up the key ...

  4. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    An associative array stores a set of (key, value) pairs and allows insertion, deletion, and lookup (search), with the constraint of unique keys. In the hash table implementation of associative arrays, an array A {\displaystyle A} of length m {\displaystyle m} is partially filled with n {\displaystyle n} elements, where m ≥ n {\displaystyle m ...

  5. Autovivification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autovivification

    The C++ Standard Library's associative containers (std::unordered_map and std::map) use operator[] to get the value associated to a key. If there is nothing associated to this key, it will construct it and value initialize [4] [unreliable source] [failed verification] the value. For simple types like int or float, the value initialization will ...

  6. Property list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_list

    The array, set and dictionary binary types are made up of pointers - the objref and keyref entries - that index into an object table in the file. This means that binary plists can capture the fact that - for example - a separate array and dictionary serialized into a file both have the same data element stored in them.

  8. Association list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_list

    The association list is said to associate the value with the key. In order to find the value associated with a given key, a sequential search is used: each element of the list is searched in turn, starting at the head, until the key is found. Associative lists provide a simple way of implementing an associative array, but are efficient only ...
