The size of a dictionary Topic is solved

[dsewq1LYJ]

CODE :

Code: Select all

AR := {"l" : ["A", "B", "C"], "m" : ["D", "E", "F"]}

MsgBox % AR.Length()

Why the .Length() functoin didn't return '2' ?

what I'm doing wrong !?

Returns the length of a linear array beginning at position 1; that is, the highest positive integer key contained by the object, or 0 if there aren't any.

Dunno if there is easier than this, but it is working:

Code: Select all

AR := {"l" : ["A", "B", "C"], "m" : ["D", "E", "F"]}
size := 0
For key, value in AR
    size++
MsgBox % size

I have been asking for such a thing for a while now: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7101
" .count() ; this is what I'd expect .length() to do, but since it doesn't, .count() could exist aswell
counts the number of items in an array or object, regardless of type ..."

feel free to post in that topic to support the idea.

What if i need to read the dict by Index ?

Code: Select all

AR := {"l" : ["A", "B", "C"], "m" : ["D", "E", "F"]}

MsgBox % AR["l"][1]
MsgBox % AR[1][1]

Why AR[1][1] retrieved nothing ?

Code: Select all

AR := {l: ["A", "B", "C"], 1: ["D", "E", "F"]}
 
MsgBox % AR["l", 1]
MsgBox % AR[1, 1]

Code: Select all

AR := {l: ["A", "B", "C"], 1: ["D", "E", "F"]}
 
MsgBox % AR["l", 1]
MsgBox % AR[1, 1]

I'm expecting the second would retrieve "A"

First element of first key.
