How to use the value of a variable as key in an R-environment?
In R programming language I want to use a hash table.
How do I use the value of a variable as the key for the environment?
For example:
map <- new.env(hash=T, parent=emptyenv())
key <- 'ddd'
map$key <- 4
print(ls(map))
>>[1] "key"
The output is 'key', which means I get a mapping from the string 'key' to the value 4. What I really want this code to do开发者_StackOverflow中文版 is to map the string 'ddd' to the value 4.
How can I achieve this?
PS. I don't use named list because it's slow with large amount of elements as it does not use hashing to do the search.
As it says in ?"$"
:
Both ‘[[’ and ‘$’ select a single element of the list. The main
difference is that ‘$’ does not allow computed indices, whereas
‘[[’ does. ‘x$name’ is equivalent to ‘x[["name", exact =
FALSE]]’. Also, the partial matching behavior of ‘[[’ can be
controlled using the ‘exact’ argument.
So you want:
map[[key]] <- 4
> print(ls(map))
[1] "ddd" "key"
> map[[key]]
[1] 4
