ohasha

Synopsis

% ohasha(key => value, ...)

Creates an ordered Sleep hash. All keys are stored in access order from least to most recently accessed.

Parameters

key => value - a key/value pair to populate the hash with.

... - any number of key/value pairs may be specified.

Returns

An ordered hash

Side Effects / Notes

New values are placed into the hash. Changing the value of a key will not change insertion order.
Each individual key access against this ordered hash will result in a change in key order.

Examples

%random = %(a => "apple", b => "boy", c => "cat", d => "dog"); println("Random: " . %random); %ordered = ohasha(a => "apple", b => "boy", c => "cat", d => "dog"); println("Ordered: " . %ordered); println("Accessing 'a': " . %ordered['a']); println("Ordered: " . %ordered);

Random: %(d => 'dog', a => 'apple', c => 'cat', b => 'boy') Ordered: %(a => 'apple', b => 'boy', c => 'cat', d => 'dog') Accessing 'a': apple Ordered: %(b => 'boy', c => 'cat', d => 'dog', a => 'apple')
