I find myself using the current pattern quite often in my code nowadays var dictionary = new Dictionary<type, IList<othertype>>(); // Add stuff to dictionary var somethingElse = dictionary.ContainsKey(key) ? dictionary[key] : new List<othertype>(); // Do work with the somethingelse variable Or sometimes var dictionary = new Dictiona...
So I have a square that's made up of a series of points. At every point there is a corresponding value. What I want to do is build a dictionary like this: class Point: def __init__(self, x, y): self._x = x self._y = y square = {} for x in range(0, 5): for y in range(0, 5): point = Point(x,y...
I have a dict object. I dumped the data using this: for alldata in data: # print all data to screen print data[alldata] Each field had brackets [] and 'None' values for NULLS and date.datetime for date values. How do I dump this dict to MySQL table? Thank you! print data displays something like this : {'1': ['1', 'K', abc, 'xyz...
I need a data structure that acts like a SortedDictionary<int, double> but is sorted based on the values rather than the keys. I need it to take about 1-2 microseconds to add and remove items when we have about 3000 items in the dictionary. My first thought was simply to switch the keys and values in my code. This very nearly works. ...
I manipulated some data from MySQL and the resulting dictionary "data" (print data) displays something like this : {'1': ['1', 'K', abc, 'xyz', None, None, None, datetime.date(2009, 6, 18)], '2': ['2', 'K', efg, 'xyz', None, None, None, None], '3': ['3', 'K', ijk, 'xyz', None, None, None, datetime.date(2010, 2, 5, 16, 31, 2)]} How d...
I developed a web site to search a database of videos indexed by keywords. There are several keywords that are repeated like "kid" and "kids" or "children" I'd like that when users search for a keyword they will find also videos with similar keywords and keywords translation (ex. "kid" > "kinder"). I was thinking about using an externa...
I want a dictionary containing the names and text of all controls. Is it possible with predefined framework methods/LINQ/colection initializers or do I have to make a loop and add all entries by myself? This gives me an error message: List<Control> controls; // .. initialize list .. controls.ToDictionary((Control child,string k)=>new K...
Hi, I have a feeling of missing something obvious. UDP receiver application. It holds a collection of valid UDP sender IPs - only guys with IP on that list will be considered. Since that list must be looked at on every packet and UDPs are so volatile, that operation must be maximum fast. Good choice is Dictionary but it is a key-value ...

I'm interested in performance values (big-O analysis) of Lookup and Insert operation for .Net Dictionaries (generic or not): HashTable, SortedList, StringDictionary, ListDictionary, HybridDictionary, NameValueCollection, SortedList < T, U >, Dictionary < T,U > Link to a web page with the answer works for me too. ...
self.mood_scale = { '-30':"Panic", '-20':'Fear', '-10':'Concern', '0':'Normal', '10':'Satisfaction', '20':'Happiness', '30':'Euphoria'} I need to set two variables: max_mood and min_mood, so I can put some limits on a ticker. What's the easiest way to get the lowest and the highest keys? ...
for example if i had the result [{'Germany': {"Luge - Men's Singles": 'Gold'}}, {'Germany': {"Luge - Men's Singles": 'Silver'}}, {'Italy': {"Luge - Men's Singles": 'Bronze'}}] [{'Germany': {"Luge - Women's Singles": 'Gold'}}, {'Austria': {"Luge - Women's Singles": 'Silver'}}, {'Germany': {"Luge - Women's Singles": 'Bronze'}}] [{'Austr...
What is the simplest way in VBA to determine the size (i.e., number of keys) in a dictionary object? ...
I am looking to create a dictionary with 'roll-back' capabilities in python. The dictionary would start with a revision number of 0, and the revision would be bumped up only by explicit method call. I do not need to delete keys, only add and update key,value pairs, and then roll back. I will never need to 'roll forward', that is, when ro...
Hi, I have a Dictionary object that is formed using a double as its key values. It looks like this: Dictionary<double, ClassName> VariableName = new Dictionary<double, ClassName>(); For my project I have to have the key as the double as I require values like 1.1,1.2,2.1,2.2,etc in my system. Everything in my system works great excep...
I have a setup where I send a dictionary through a multiprocessing.queue and do some stuff with it. I was getting an odd "dictionary size changed while iterating over it" error when I wasn't changing anything in the dictionary. Here's the traceback, although it's not terribly helpful: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/li...
I have to store a complex type in the application settings. I thought that storing it as XML would work best. The problem is I don't know how store XML. I prefer to store it as a managed XML rather than using just a string of raw XML having to parse it on each access. I managed to set the Type column of the setting to XDocument, but I w...

I was trying to create a generic Dictionary that implements IXmlSerializable (credit to Charles Feduke). Here is my trial: Sub Main() Dim z As New SerializableDictionary(Of String, String) z.Add("asdf", "asd") Console.WriteLine(z.Serialize) End Sub Result: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><Entry key="asdf" value="a...
Can someone point me to where I can download English dictionary as a txt or xml file. I am building a simple app for myself and looking for something what I could start using immediately without learning complex API. Support for synonyms would be great, that is it should be easier to retrieve all the synonyms for particular word. It wo...
