Class std::Pair<L, R>

Instances of the Pair class represent immutable pairs of two arbitrary values. Pairs can only be constructed using the colon (:) operator. A typical use of pair objects is as arguments to the constructor of the std::Map class, where pairs represent (key, value) pairs, and in range indexing.

class Pair

The Pair type. Pair objects can be constructed using the colon (:) operator. Within an index expression (inside square brackets [ ]), the left or right operand, or both, can be left out; in this case the values default to nil.

Member constants

left as L

The first (left) item in the pair.

right as R

The second (right) item in the pair.

Operations

x : y (L : R ⇒ Pair<L, R>)

Construct a pair with values x (left) and y (right).

pair == x (Pair<L, R> == Object ⇒ Boolean)

Pair objects can be compared for equality. Two pairs are equal if and only if both their left and right items are equal.

Str(pair)

Convert a pair to a string.

Hash(pair)

Return the hash value of a pair.
