The set() method of p5.TypedDict in p5.js is used to add or modify the value at the given key of the dictionary. A key-value pair is a set of two values that are mapped to each other. These values can be accessed by querying this dictionary using the key portion of the pair. A typed dictionary can store multiple key-value pairs that can be accessed using the methods of the dictionary.
Syntax:
set( key, value )
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as shown above and discussed below:
- key: This is a number or string that denotes the key that has to be added to the dictionary.
- value: This is a number or string that denotes the value that has to be added to the dictionary.
The example below illustrates the set() method in p5.js:
Example:
Javascript
function setup() { createCanvas(550, 300); textSize(16); // Create an empty dictionary let stringDict = createStringDict({}); text( "New empty string dictionary created" , 20, 20); // Get the value at the given key let valOne = stringDict.get( 'Apple' ); text( "The value at key 'Apple': " + valOne, 20, 60); // Add the given key to the dictionary // specifying the key and value stringDict.set( 'Apple' , '$340 billion' ); text( "New key 'Apple' added with " + "set() method" , 20, 100) // Get the value at the given key valOne = stringDict.get( 'Apple' ); text( "The value at key 'Apple': " + valOne, 20, 140); // Change the value of an already set key stringDict.set( 'Apple' , '$352 billion' ); text( "Value at key 'Apple' modified using " + "the set() method" , 20, 180) // Get the value at the given key valOne = stringDict.get( 'Apple' ); text( "The value at key 'Apple': " + valOne, 20, 220); } |
