Storing items in an Icon table
Storing items in an Icon table |
|
To store value v into an Icon table named t under the key value k:
t[k] := v;
For example, this code sets up a table for translating the three-letter
string for the day of the week to a number:
dayNumbers := table ( ); # Create the table
dayNumbers["Sun"] := 1;
dayNumbers["Mon"] := 2;
dayNumbers["Tue"] := 3;
dayNumbers["Wed"] := 4;
dayNumbers["Thu"] := 5;
dayNumbers["Fri"] := 6;
dayNumbers["Sat"] := 7;
