- object: It specifies the object that is used as the dictionary.
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); } |
