    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    The user can search for elements in an associative array, and delete elements from the array. The following shows how multi-dimensional associative arrays can be simulated in standard AWK using concatenation and the built-in string-separator variable SUBSEP:

  3. Name–value pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name–value_pair

    Example of a web form with name-value pairs. A name–value pair, also called an attribute–value pair, keyvalue pair, or field–value pair, is a fundamental data representation in computing systems and applications. Designers often desire an open-ended data structure that allows for future extension without modifying existing code or data.

  4. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    remove a (,) pair from the collection, unmapping a given key from its value. The argument to this operation is the key. Lookup, find, or get find the value (if any) that is bound to a given key. The argument to this operation is the key, and the value is returned from the operation.

  5. Retrieval Data Structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval_Data_Structure

    In computer science, a retrieval data structure, also known as static function, is a space-efficient dictionary-like data type composed of a collection of (key, value) pairs that allows the following operations: [1] Construction from a collection of (key, value) pairs

  6. 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 ...

  7. Set (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(abstract_data_type)

    As sets can be interpreted as a kind of map (by the indicator function), sets are commonly implemented in the same way as (partial) maps (associative arrays) – in this case in which the value of each key-value pair has the unit type or a sentinel value (like 1) – namely, a self-balancing binary search tree for sorted sets [definition needed ...

  8. Key–value database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyvalue_database

    A tabular data card proposed for Babbage's Analytical Engine showing a keyvalue pair, in this instance a number and its base-ten logarithm. A keyvalue database, or keyvalue store, is a data storage paradigm designed for storing, retrieving, and managing associative arrays, and a data structure more commonly known today as a dictionary or hash table.

    Arbitrary-length key/value pairs with end-marker Structured Data eXchange Formats (SDXF) Big-endian signed 24-bit or 32-bit integer Big-endian IEEE double Either UTF-8 or ISO 8859-1 encoded List of elements with identical ID and size, preceded by array header with int16 length Chunks can contain other chunks to arbitrary depth.
