Below programs illustrate the Ds\Map::put() function in PHP:

Program 1:




<?php 
  
// Declare a new map
$map = new \Ds\Map();
  
$map->put("a", "Geeks");
$map->put("b", "for");
$map->put("c", "Geeks");
  
// Display output
print_r($map);
  
// Declare a new map
$map = new \Ds\Map();
  
$map->put("a", "Computer");
$map->put("b", "Science");
$map->put("c", "Portal");
  
// Display output
print_r($map);
  
?>


Output:

Ds\Map Object
(
    [0] => Ds\Pair Object
        (
            [key] => a
            [value] => Geeks
        )

    [1] => Ds\Pair Object
        (
            [key] => b
            [value] => for
        )

    [2] => Ds\Pair Object
        (
            [key] => c
            [value] => Geeks
        )

)
Ds\Map Object
(
    [0] => Ds\Pair Object
        (
            [key] => a
            [value] => Computer
        )

    [1] => Ds\Pair Object
        (
            [key] => b
            [value] => Science
        )

    [2] => Ds\Pair Object
        (
            [key] => c
            [value] => Portal
        )

)

Program 2:




<?php 
  
// Declare a new map
$map = new \Ds\Map();
  
$map->put("Geeks1", "computer");
$map->put("Geeks2", "science");
$map->put("Geeks3", 5);
$map->put("Geeks3", 20);
  
// Display result
var_dump($map);
  
?>


Output:

object(Ds\Map)#1 (3) {
  [0]=>
  object(Ds\Pair)#2 (2) {
    ["key"]=>
    string(6) "Geeks1"
    ["value"]=>
    string(8) "computer"
  }
  [1]=>
  object(Ds\Pair)#3 (2) {
    ["key"]=>
    string(6) "Geeks2"
    ["value"]=>
    string(7) "science"
  }
  [2]=>
  object(Ds\Pair)#4 (2) {
    ["key"]=>
    string(6) "Geeks3"
    ["value"]=>
    int(20)
  }
}
