Why disturb something as simple as assigning a value in an array with a method/function

== Type of error to return? Type of index? ==
 
This task leaves a lot up in the air. Some languages can only do numerical indexes, some can do anything. Also, the requirements say to return an error if the key doesn't exist. None of the languages at this time fulfill this requirement, except Ada, which will throw an exception if the key is out of bounds.
