Return Value: It returns a p5.NumberDict object with the given data.
The program below illustrate the createNumberDict() function in p5.js:
Example 1:
function setup() { createCanvas(500, 200); textSize(20); // Creating a number dictionary // with the given key and value pair let mydict = createNumberDict( "19" , "1999" ); // Accessing the data using the data property text( 'The dictionary has the following data under "19":' , 20, 20); text(mydict.data[ "19" ], 20, 40); // Checking if a key exists in the dictionary text( 'The dictionary has the "25" key present:' , 20, 80); text(mydict.hasKey( "19" ), 20, 100); text( 'The dictionary has the "100" key present:' , 20, 140); text(mydict.hasKey( "100" ), 20, 160); } |
Output:
Example 2:
function setup() { createCanvas(600, 200); textSize(20); let squaresObject = { 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16, 5: 25 } // Creating a number dictionary // with the above object let mydict = createNumberDict(squaresObject); // Accessing the data using the data property text( 'The dictionary has the following data under key "2":' , 20, 20); text(mydict.data[ "2" ], 20, 40); text( 'The dictionary has the following data under key "4":' , 20, 80); text(mydict.data[ "4" ], 20, 100); text( 'The dictionary has the following data under key "5":' , 20, 140); text(mydict.data[ "5" ], 20, 160); } |
