The tables module implements variants of an efficient hash table (also often named dictionary in other programming languages) that is a mapping from keys to values.
There are several different types of hash tables available:
- Table is the usual hash table,
- OrderedTable is like Table but remembers insertion order,
- CountTable is a mapping from a key to its number of occurrences
For consistency with every other data type in Nim these have value semantics, this means that = performs a copy of the hash table.
For ref semantics use their Ref variants: TableRef, OrderedTableRef, and CountTableRef.
To give an example, when a is a Table, then var b = a gives b as a new independent table. b is initialised with the contents of a. Changing b does not affect a and vice versa:
Example:
import std/tables var a = {1: "one", 2: "two"}.toTable # creates a Table b = a assert a == b b[3] = "three" assert 3 notin a assert 3 in b assert a != bOn the other hand, when a is a TableRef instead, then changes to b also affect a. Both a and b ref the same data structure:
Example:
import std/tables var a = {1: "one", 2: "two"}.newTable # creates a TableRef b = a assert a == b b[3] = "three" assert 3 in a assert 3 in b assert a == b
Basic usage
Table
Example:
import std/tables from std/sequtils import zip let names = ["John", "Paul", "George", "Ringo"] years = [1940, 1942, 1943, 1940] var beatles = initTable[string, int]() for pairs in zip(names, years): let (name, birthYear) = pairs beatles[name] = birthYear assert beatles == {"George": 1943, "Ringo": 1940, "Paul": 1942, "John": 1940}.toTable var beatlesByYear = initTable[int, seq[string]]() for pairs in zip(years, names): let (birthYear, name) = pairs if not beatlesByYear.hasKey(birthYear): # if a key doesn't exist, we create one with an empty sequence # before we can add elements to it beatlesByYear[birthYear] = @[] beatlesByYear[birthYear].add(name) assert beatlesByYear == {1940: @["John", "Ringo"], 1942: @["Paul"], 1943: @["George"]}.toTable
OrderedTable
OrderedTable is used when it is important to preserve the insertion order of keys.
Example:
import std/tables let a = [('z', 1), ('y', 2), ('x', 3)] ot = a.toOrderedTable # ordered tables assert $ot == """{'z': 1, 'y': 2, 'x': 3}"""
CountTable
CountTable is useful for counting number of items of some container (e.g. string, sequence or array), as it is a mapping where the items are the keys, and their number of occurrences are the values. For that purpose toCountTable proc comes handy:
Example:
import std/tables let myString = "abracadabra" let letterFrequencies = toCountTable(myString) assert $letterFrequencies == "{'a': 5, 'd': 1, 'b': 2, 'r': 2, 'c': 1}"The same could have been achieved by manually iterating over a container and increasing each key's value with inc proc:
Example:
import std/tables let myString = "abracadabra" var letterFrequencies = initCountTable[char]() for c in myString: letterFrequencies.inc(c) assert $letterFrequencies == "{'d': 1, 'r': 2, 'c': 1, 'a': 5, 'b': 2}"
Hashing
If you are using simple standard types like int or string for the keys of the table you won't have any problems, but as soon as you try to use a more complex object as a key you will be greeted by a strange compiler error:
Error: type mismatch: got (Person) but expected one of: hashes.hash(x: openArray[A]): Hash hashes.hash(x: int): Hash hashes.hash(x: float): Hash …
What is happening here is that the types used for table keys require to have a hash() proc which will convert them to a Hash value, and the compiler is listing all the hash functions it knows. Additionally there has to be a == operator that provides the same semantics as its corresponding hash proc.
After you add hash and == for your custom type everything will work. Currently, however, hash for objects is not defined, whereas system.== for objects does exist and performs a "deep" comparison (every field is compared) which is usually what you want. So in the following example implementing only hash suffices:
Example:
import std/tables import std/hashes type Person = object firstName, lastName: string proc hash(x: Person): Hash = ## Piggyback on the already available string hash proc. ## ## Without this proc nothing works! result = x.firstName.hash !& x.lastName.hash result = !$result var salaries = initTable[Person, int]() p1, p2: Person p1.firstName = "Jon" p1.lastName = "Ross" salaries[p1] = 30_000 p2.firstName = "소진" p2.lastName = "박" salaries[p2] = 45_000
