Storing keys and values in assocs
Most assoc words take a key and find the corresponding value. The following words take a value and find the corresponding key:
value-at
( value assoc -- key/f )
value-at*
( value assoc -- key/f ? )
value?
( value assoc -- ? )
With most assoc implementations, these words runs in linear time, proportional to the number of entries in the assoc. For fast value lookups, use
biassocs
.
