;Task:
The goal is to create an [[associative array]] (also known as a dictionary, map, or hash).
Related tasks:
* [[Associative arrays/Iteration]]
* [[Hash from two arrays]]

=={{header|8th}}==
8th has 'maps' as built-in data types, and can use JSON to describe them:
<syntaxhighlight lang="forth">
{ "one" : 1, "two" : "bad" }
</syntaxhighlight>
Alternatively, they can be created in code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="forth">
m:new "one" 1 m:! "two" "bad" m:!

Because ActionScript does not have associative arrays in the normal sense, Object objects are used instead and keys are simply properties on those objects.
<syntaxhighlight lang="actionscript">var map:Object = {key1: "value1", key2: "value2"};
trace(map['key1']); // outputs "value1"
// Dot notation can also be used
trace(map.key2); // outputs "value2"
// More keys and values can then be added
map['key3'] = "value3";
trace(map['key3']); // outputs "value3"</syntaxhighlight>

=={{header|Apex}}==
Apex provides a Map datatype that maps unique keys to a single value. Both keys and values can be any data type, including user-defined types. Like Java, equals and hashCode are used to determine key uniqueness for user-defined types. Uniqueness of sObject keys is determined by comparing field values.
Creating a new empty map of String to String:
<syntaxhighlight lang="apex">// Cannot / Do not need to instantiate the algorithm implementation (e.g, HashMap).
Map<String, String> strMap = new Map<String, String>();
strMap.put('a', 'aval');
strMap.put('b', 'bval');
System.assert( strMap.containsKey('a') );
System.assertEquals( 'bval', strMap.get('b') );
// String keys are case-sensitive
System.assert( !strMap.containsKey('A') );</syntaxhighlight>
Creating a new map of String to String with values initialized:
<syntaxhighlight lang="apex">Map<String, String> strMap = new Map<String, String>{
'a' => 'aval',
'b' => 'bval'
};
System.assert( strMap.containsKey('a') );
System.assertEquals( 'bval', strMap.get('b') );</syntaxhighlight>

ATS, like many languages, does not have high level stuff such as maps built into the language itself, so library support or one's own code is what one needs.
In the following, ''persistence'' means that past values of the map are retained, if they continue to have references to them. This property sometimes is called ''immutability'', but I feel that term implies too much.
=== Persistent association lists ===
The following implementation includes set, get, and delete, and also "generators", which are like iterators except they are closures rather than regular objects.

=== Persistent hashmaps based on AVL trees ===
{{trans|Scheme}}
{{libheader|xxHash}}
The following implementation includes set and get, and also "generators", which are like iterators except they are closures rather than regular objects. A delete function could easily be added.
To run this demonstration you need the [http://www.xxhash.net xxHash] C library. I have written an implementation of SpookyHash in ATS, but using a C library is fine, and requires less ATS code.
Because the hash table is an AVL tree, performance will tend to be logarithmic. This assumes a good hash function, of course. With a bad hash function, performance may be linear.

The C++ standard defines std::map as a means of creating an association between a key of one arbitrary type and a value of another arbitrary type. This requires the inclusion of the standard header '''map'''.
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">#include <map></syntaxhighlight>
===Creation===
To create a simple map whose key is of type A and whose value is of type B, one would define the variable like so:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">std::map<A, B> exampleMap</syntaxhighlight>
If one wanted to us a key type of '''int''' and a value of '''double''', you would define it like so:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">std::map<int, double> exampleMap</syntaxhighlight>
===Insertion===
Once we've created our map, we've got a couple different ways to insert the value. Let's use an example key of 7, and an exable value of 3.14.
====Operator[]====
The first method is using the [] operator.
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">exampleMap[7] = 3.14</syntaxhighlight>
Of course, you can use a variable (or any [[rvalue]] of the correct type) for the key or value parameters:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">int myKey = 7;
double myValue = 3.14;
exampleMap[myKey] = myValue;</syntaxhighlight>
====insert()====
The second approach is a little more complicated. We have to use the '''pair<>''' template:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">exampleMap.insert(std::pair<int, double>(7,3.14));</syntaxhighlight>
or by using '''make_pair''' to avoid repeating key/value types:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">exampleMap.insert(std::make_pair(7,3.14));</syntaxhighlight>
===Lookup===
As with insertion, there are a couple ways we can retrieve the value.
====operator[]====
We use it as an rvalue, supplying the correct key:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">myValue = exampleMap[myKey]</syntaxhighlight>
If the value doesn't already exist, a default-constructed object of the value's type will be inserted using the key you specified, and that default value will be returned.
====find()====
Alternatively, you can look up a value by using find(), storing its return value in an [[iterator]], and comparing the iterator against the map's end() [[sentinal value]]:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">double myValue = 0.0;
std::map<int, double>::iterator myIterator = exampleMap.find(myKey);
if(exampleMap.end() != myIterator)
{
// Return the value for that key.
myValue = myIterator->second;
}</syntaxhighlight>
The need for the '''->second''' code is because our iterator points to a '''pair<>()''', and our value is the second member of that pair.
This code assigns a 0 to myValue if the map contained a value.
===Example===
This simple program creates a map, assigns a value to that map, retrieves a value from that map, and prints the value to STDOUT.
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">#include <map>
#include <iostreams>
int main()
{
// Create the map.
std::map<int, double> exampleMap;
// Choose our key
int myKey = 7;
// Choose our value
double myValue = 3.14;
// Assign a value to the map with the specified key.
exampleMap[myKey] = myValue;
// Retrieve the value
double myRetrievedValue = exampleMap[myKey];
// Display our retrieved value.
std::cout << myRetrievedValue << std::endl;
// main() must return 0 on success.
return 0;

In Chapel, associative arrays are regular arrays with a non-integer domain - values used as keys into the array.
The creation of the domain is independent from the creation of the array, and in fact the same domain can be used for multiple arrays, creating associative arrays with identical sets of keys. When the domain is changed, all arrays that use it will be reallocated.
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">// arr is an array of string to int. any type can be used in both places.
var keys: domain(string);
var arr: [keys] int;
// keys can be added to a domain using +, new values will be initialized to the default value (0 for int)
keys += "foo";
keys += "bar";
keys += "baz";
// array access via [] or ()
arr["foo"] = 1;
arr["bar"] = 4;
arr("baz") = 6;
// write auto-formats domains and arrays
writeln("Keys: ", keys);
writeln("Values: ", arr);
// keys can be deleted using -
keys -= "bar";
writeln("Keys: ", keys);
writeln("Values: ", arr);
// chapel also supports array literals

{{works with|GNU Forth|0.6.2}}
The Forth dictionary is normally only used for function and symbol definitions, but you can also define separate ''wordlists'' for holding functions or data. There is no special syntax in the language for this, but you can define your own. All of Forth's defining words are available for adding things to the wordlist, but CREATE is most generic.
<syntaxhighlight lang="forth">: get ( key len table -- data ) \ 0 if not present
search-wordlist if
>body @
else 0 then ;
: put ( data key len table -- )
>r 2dup r@ search-wordlist if
r> drop nip nip
>body !
else
r> get-current >r set-current \ switch definition word lists
nextname create ,
r> set-current
then ;
wordlist constant bar
5 s" alpha" bar put
9 s" beta" bar put
2 s" gamma" bar put
s" alpha" bar get . \ 5
8 s" Alpha" bar put \ Forth dictionaries are normally case-insensitive
s" alpha" bar get . \ 8</syntaxhighlight>
This is not necessarily a good option in all Forths, as the dictionary may be implemented as a simple linked list (normally not a problem because the dictionary is only used for compiling and interactive interpretation). [[GNU Forth]] and many other hosted Forths use hash tables for the dictionary, so this is a fine choice. If you need case-sensitive keys, GNU Forth has <tt>table</tt> and <tt>table-find</tt>, replacing <tt>wordlist</tt> and <tt>search-wordlist</tt>, respectively.
(The use of <tt>nextname ( str len -- )</tt> is a GNU Forth extension to <tt>create</tt>; there is no means in the ANS standard to use a string on the stack to create a dictionary entry.)

Usually, in J, you would use a named pair of (same length) lists for this purpose - one of keys, one of values. There are a number of details here that vary with the the intended use patterns. (First you get it working and then if you run into bottlenecks you rebuild things to relieve the problems).
However, it's also possible to use the symbol table itself to hold the names. The symbol table has limitations (can only accept syntactically valid names), but we can turn arbitrary strings into valid symbols using base 62 encode and prefixing with a letter (hypothetically speaking, base 64 encode would let us build longer names than base 62, because of computational complexity issues - but the J symbol table also comes with a name length limit - 255 characters - and does not support 64 different characters in names):
<syntaxhighlight lang="j">coclass 'assocArray'
encode=: 'z', (a.{~;48 65 97(+ i.)&.>10 26 26) {~ 62x #.inv 256x #. a.&i.
get=: ".@encode
has=: 0 <: nc@<@encode
set=:4 :'(encode x)=:y'</syntaxhighlight>
Example use:
<syntaxhighlight lang="j"> example=: conew 'assocArray'
'foo' set__example 1 2 3
1 2 3
'bar' set__example 4 5 6
4 5 6

1 2 3
has__example 'foo'
1
bletch__example=: 7 8 9
get__example 'bletch'
7 8 9
codestroy__example''</syntaxhighlight>
Note that J's symbols (http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dsco.htm) might also be used for this purpose. However, symbols are not garbage collected within a J session (and, instead, a mechanism is provided to optionally preserve them across sessions).

<p>
Java offers an associative array, referred to as a <code>Map</code>, as part of the Collections Framework.<br />
There are numerous implementing classes, each which provide unique functionality for various tasks.<br />
</p>
<p>
It's worth noting that Java also offers the <code>Dictionary</code> class, which appears to be less preferred, according to Java.<br />
<kbd><i>"[The Map] interface takes the place of the Dictionary class ..."</i></kbd>.
</p>
<p>
The most generalized <code>Map</code> would be the <code>HashMap</code>, which is a basic, unordered, set of <kbd>keys</kbd> and <kbd>values</kbd>.<br />
There is also the <code>LinkedHashMap</code>, which will preserve the order of input.<br />
There is the <code>TreeMap</code>, which is used to store the <kbd>key</kbd>s in a specific order, using the <kbd>key</kbd>'s <code>compareTo</code> method.
Optionally, you could provide your own <kbd>comparator</kbd> using the <code>Comparator</code> interface, which I'll demonstrate below.<br />
There are numerous other implementing classes, which can be found under the <code>Map</code> <kbd>Javadoc</kbd>,
[https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/20/docs/api/java.base/java/util/Map.html. Map (Java SE 20 & JDK 20)].
</p>
<p>
Here is a basic implementation of a <code>HashMap</code>.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
</syntaxhighlight>
<p>
To add a <kbd>key</kbd> and <kbd>value</kbd> pair, you use the <code>Map.put</code> method.<br />
A useful feature of <code>Map.put</code> is that if the <kbd>key</kbd> already exists, thus is being overridden,
it will return the overridden value, otherwise <code>null</code>.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
map.put("rosetta", 100);
map.put("code", 200);
</syntaxhighlight>
<p>
To get a <kbd>value</kbd>, you use the <code>Map.get</code> method, specifying the <kbd>key</kbd> as the parameter.<br />
If the specified <kbd>key</kbd> does not exist, <code>null</code> is returned.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
int valueA = map.get("rosetta");
int valueB = map.get("code");
</syntaxhighlight>
<p>
To mutate a <kbd>key</kbd>'s <kbd>value</kbd>, you use the <code>Map.replace</code> method.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
map.replace("rosetta", 300);
</syntaxhighlight>
<p>
Alternately, you can replace the <kbd>value</kbd>, only if it is of a current <kbd>value</kbd>.<br />
So, in this example it will return <kbd>true</kbd>, only if the <kbd>key</kbd> <kbd><i>"rosetta"</i></kbd> had the current <kbd>value</kbd> of <kbd><i>100</i></kbd>.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
boolean replaced = map.replace("rosetta", 100, 300);
</syntaxhighlight>
<p>
To check for the existence of a <kbd>key</kbd>, you use the <code>containsKey</code> method.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
boolean contains = map.containsKey("rosetta");
</syntaxhighlight>
<p>
And to check for the existence of a <kbd>value</kbd>, you use the <code>containsValue</code> method.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
boolean contains = map.containsValue(100);
</syntaxhighlight>
<p>
A <code>LinkedHashMap</code> is exactly the same as a <code>HashMap</code>, except it will preserve the order in which the <kbd>key</kbd>s were added.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
Map<String, Integer> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
map.put("rosetta", 100);
map.put("code", 200);
</syntaxhighlight>
<p>
A <code>TreeMap</code> is useful for when you want the <kbd>key</kbd>s in a specific order.<br />
By default, it will use the <kbd>key</kbd>'s <code>compareTo</code> method, to determine the order.<br />
So, if you're <kbd>key</kbd> is a <code>String</code>, the order will be ascending, similar to an actual dictionary.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
Map<String, Integer> map = new TreeMap<>();
map.put("rosetta", 100);
map.put("code", 200);
</syntaxhighlight>
<p>
You could, optionally, specify a comparator by implementing a <code>Comparator</code> interface.<br />
A <code>TreeMap</code>, conveniently, only requires you to implement the <code>compare</code> method of the <code>Comparator</code>,
so the implementation can be done as an <kbd>anonymous class</kbd>.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
Comparator<String> comparator = new Comparator<String>() {
public int compare(String stringA, String stringB) {
if (stringA.compareTo(stringB) > 0) {
return -1;
} else if (stringA.compareTo(stringB) < 0) {
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
};
</syntaxhighlight>
<p>
Which you then supply as an argument to the constructor.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
Map<String, Integer> map = new TreeMap<>(comparator);
</syntaxhighlight>
<p>
To make things even simpler, you could use a <kbd>lambda</kbd> for the <kbd>anonymous class</kbd>.
</p>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
Comparator<String> comparator = (stringA, stringB) -> {
if (stringA.compareTo(stringB) > 0) {
return -1;
} else if (stringA.compareTo(stringB) < 0) {
return 1;
}
return 0;
};
</syntaxhighlight>
=={{header|JavaScript}}==
ECMAScript5.1 does not have associative arrays, however Objects (which are just an unordered bundle of name/value pairs) can be used like associative arrays. JavaScript Arrays may also be used, but Objects are the convention.
Javascript object property names (keys) are strings. Other types and expressions can be used with square bracket notation, they are evaluated and converted to strings and the result used as the property name. Using quotes on property names avoids potential collisions with reserved JavaScript key words.
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">var assoc = {};
assoc['foo'] = 'bar';
assoc['another-key'] = 3;
// dot notation can be used if the property name is a valid identifier
assoc.thirdKey = 'we can also do this!';
assoc[2] = "the index here is the string '2'";
//using JavaScript's object literal notation
var assoc = {
foo: 'bar',
'another-key': 3 //the key can either be enclosed by quotes or not
};
//iterating keys
for (var key in assoc) {
// hasOwnProperty() method ensures the property isn't inherited
if (assoc.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
alert('key:"' + key + '", value:"' + assoc[key] + '"');
}
}</syntaxhighlight>
ECMAScript 6 (ES6) offers both a map and a weak map implementation. While Objects must use strings, Maps may use objects, functions, and numbers as keys in addition to strings.
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">var map = new Map(),
fn = function () {},
obj = {};
map.set(fn, 123);
map.set(obj, 'abc');
map.set('key', 'val');
map.set(3, x => x + x);
map.get(fn); //=> 123
map.get(function () {}); //=> undefined because not the same function
map.get(obj); //=> 'abc'
map.get({}); //=> undefined because not the same object
map.get('key'); //=> 'val'
map.get(3); //=> (x => x + x)
map.size; //=> 4
//iterating using ES6 for..of syntax
for (var key of map.keys()) {
console.log(key + ' => ' + map.get(key));
}</syntaxhighlight>

===Associative Arrays with String-Valued Keys===
In jq, JSON objects can be used as associative arrays, it being understood that only strings can be used as keys. To avoid confusion, for the remainder of this section, we refer to JSON objects as such. Their type in jq is "object".
<syntaxhighlight lang="jq"># An empty object:
{}
# Its type:
{} | type
# "object"
# An object literal:
{"a": 97, "b" : 98}
# Programmatic object construction:
reduce ("a", "b", "c", "d") as $c ({}; . + { ($c) : ($c|explode[.0])} )
# {"a":97,"c":99,"b":98,"d":100}
# Same as above:
reduce range (97;101) as $i ({}; . + { ([$i]|implode) : $i })
# Addition of a key/value pair by assignment:
{}["A"] = 65 # in this case, the object being added to is {}
# Alteration of the value of an existing key:
{"A": 65}["A"] = "AA"</syntaxhighlight>
===Associative Arrays with JSON-Valued Keys===
In this subsection, we define addKey(key;value), getKey(key), and removeKey(key)
to operate on a hash table for which the keys may be any JSON entities. This is done by defining a collisionless hash function.
<syntaxhighlight lang="jq">def collisionless:
if type == "object" then with_entries(.value = (.value|collisionless))|tostring
elif type == "array" then map(collisionless)|tostring
else (type[0:1] + tostring)
end;
# WARNING: addKey(key;value) will erase any previous value associated with key
def addKey(key;value):
if type == "object" then . + { (key|collisionless): value }
else {} | addKey(key;value)
end;
def getKey(key): .[key|collisionless];
def removeKey(key): delpaths( [ [key|collisionless] ] );</syntaxhighlight>
'''Example''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="jq">{} | addKey(1;"one") | addKey(2; "two") | removeKey(1) | getKey(2)</syntaxhighlight>
produces:

Maple tables are hashed arrays. A table can be constructed by using the table constructor.
<syntaxhighlight lang="maple">> T := table( [ (2,3) = 4, "foo" = 1, sin(x) = cos(x) ] );
T := table(["foo" = 1, sin(x) = cos(x), (2, 3) = 4])
> T[2,3];
4
> T[sin(x)];
cos(x)
> T["foo"];
1</syntaxhighlight>
New entries are added by assignment.
<syntaxhighlight lang="maple">> T[ "bar" ] := 2;
T["bar"] := 2
> T[ "bar" ];
2</syntaxhighlight>
Entries can be removed as follows.
<syntaxhighlight lang="maple">> T[ "foo" ] := evaln( T[ "foo" ] );
T["foo"] := T["foo"]
> T[ "foo" ];
T["foo"]</syntaxhighlight>
(The latter output indicates that T["foo"] is an unassigned name.)

===MATLAB/Octave: structs===
Associative arrays are called structs. The following methods of creating hash are equivalent.
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab"> hash.a = 1;
hash.b = 2;
hash.C = [3,4,5]; </syntaxhighlight>
alternatively
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab"> hash = [];
hash = setfield(hash,'a',1);
hash = setfield(hash,'b',2);
hash = setfield(hash,'C',[3,4,5]); </syntaxhighlight>
or
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab"> hash.('a') = 1;
hash.('b') = 2;
hash.('C') = [3,4,5]; </syntaxhighlight>
<pre>>> disp(hash)
scalar structure containing the fields:
a = 1
b = 2
C =
3 4 5</pre>
Limitation: key must be a string containing only characters, digits and underscores, and the key string must start with a character.
===MATLAB only: containers.Map===
Use of containers.Map removes some restrictions on key types that structs have. Keys can all be numeric or all be strings. Values can be of any type. Key and value types cannot be changed after creation of the containers.Map object.
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab">m = containers.Map({'a' 'b' 'C'}, [1 2 3]);</syntaxhighlight>
is equivalent to
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab">m = containers.Map;
m('a') = 1;
m('b') = 2;
m('C') = 3;</syntaxhighlight>
since the KeyType defaults to 'char'. For numeric keys, the key and value types must be specified at creation.
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab">m = containers.Map([51 72 37], {'fiftyone' 'seventytwo' 'thirtyseven'});</syntaxhighlight>
is equivalent to
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab">m = containers.Map('KeyType', 'double', 'ValueType', 'any');
m(51) = 'fiftyone';
m(72) = 'seventytwo';
m(37) = 'thirtyseven';</syntaxhighlight>
Usage:
<pre>>> m = containers.Map([51 72 37], {'fiftyone' 'seventytwo' 'thirtyseven'});
>> keys(m)
ans =
[37] [51] [72]
>> values(m)
ans =

A map literal in MiniScript is enclosed in curly braces, with key:value pairs separated by commas. Keys and values may be any type. Retrieval or assignment is by putting the key in square brackets. As syntactic sugar, when a string key follows the rules of a MiniScript identifier (starts with a letter and contains only letters, numbers, and underscores), you may also access it with dot syntax.
<syntaxhighlight lang="miniscript">map = { 3: "test", "foo": 42 }

map[3] = "more tests"
print map[3]
print map["foo"]
print map.foo // same as map["foo"] (only for string keys that are valid identifiers)

You can use a NSDictionary to create an immutable hash. A dictionary can contain only objects; if you want store non objects like integer, you have to box it in NSNumber.
<syntaxhighlight lang="objc">NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"Joe Doe", @"name",
[NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInt:42], @"age",
[NSNull null], @"extra",
nil];</syntaxhighlight>
The same as the above with the new literal syntax in clang 3.1+ / Apple LLVM Compiler 4.0+ (XCode 4.4+) :
<syntaxhighlight lang="objc">NSDictionary *dict = @{
@"name": @"Joe Doe",
@"age": @42,
@"extra": [NSNull null],
};</syntaxhighlight>
To create a mutable dictionary, use NSMutableDictionary:
<syntaxhighlight lang="objc">NSMutableDictionary *dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[dict setObject:@"Joe Doe" forKey:@"name"];
[dict setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:42] forKey:@"age"];</syntaxhighlight>
You can access value with objectForKey:. If a key does not exists, nil is returned.
<syntaxhighlight lang="objc">NSString *name = [dict objectForKey:@"name"];
unsigned age = [dict objectForKey:@"age"] unsignedIntValue];
id missing = [dict objectForKey:@"missing"];</syntaxhighlight>

===Hash table===
A simple idiom to create a hash table mapping strings to integers:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ocaml">let hash = Hashtbl.create 0;;
List.iter (fun (key, value) -> Hashtbl.add hash key value)
["foo", 5; "bar", 10; "baz", 15];;</syntaxhighlight>
To retrieve a value:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ocaml">let bar = Hashtbl.find hash "bar";; (* bar = 10 *)</syntaxhighlight>
To retrieve a value, returning a default if the key is not found:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ocaml">let quux = try Hashtbl.find hash "quux" with Not_found -> some_value;;</syntaxhighlight>
===Binary tree===
A simple idiom to create a persistent binary tree mapping strings to integers:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ocaml">module String = struct
type t = string
let compare = Pervasives.compare
end
module StringMap = Map.Make(String);;
let map =
List.fold_left
(fun map (key, value) -> StringMap.add key value map)
StringMap.empty
["foo", 5; "bar", 10; "baz", 15]
;;</syntaxhighlight>
To retrieve a value:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ocaml">let bar = StringMap.find "bar" map;; (* bar = 10 *)</syntaxhighlight>
To retrieve a value, returning a default if the key is not found:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ocaml">let quux = try StringMap.find "quux" map with Not_found -> some_value;;</syntaxhighlight>
===Association list===
Some list functions allow you to use a list as an associative map, although the access time is O(N) so a Hashtbl or binary tree should be used for larger data-sets.
<syntaxhighlight lang="ocaml">let dict = ["foo", 5; "bar", 10; "baz", 15]
(* retrieve value *)
let bar_num = try List.assoc "bar" dict with Not_found -> 0;;
(* see if key exists *)
print_endline (if List.mem_assoc "foo" dict then "key found" else "key missing")</syntaxhighlight>

Associative arrays in Otus Lisp has name "fixed function" (aka "ff") and fully conforms the functional paradigm. It means that there are no ability to change the existing associative array, only get new changed one.
You can use only values as keys (atomic numbers, constants) and, as exception, symbols (symbols are references, but unique). No strings, lists, vectors and other objects can be used directly. In such cases use hashes or similar mechanisms.
<syntaxhighlight lang="scheme">

=={{header|ooRexx}}==
ooRexx has multiple classes that create index-to-item associative relationships.
* Directory -- a mapping for a string index to an object instance
* Table -- a mapping for an object index (of any class) to an object instance. Index equality is determined by the "==" method.
* Relation -- a one-to-many mapping for an object index (of any class) to object instances. Index equality is determined by the "==" method.
* IdentityTable -- a mapping for an object index (of any class) to an object instance. Index equality is determined by unique object identity rather than equality.
* Stem -- The class backing ooRexx stem variables, which is also a first-class collection class.
All of the MapCollections are very similar in usage. We'll use Directory for the examples here.
Defining the map:
<syntaxhighlight lang="oorexx">map = .directory~new
map["foo"] = 5
map["bar"] = 10
map["baz"] = 15
map["foo"] = 6
</syntaxhighlight>
"Putting" a value for a key that already exists ("map["foo"] = 6" in this example) will replace and return the old value for the key.
Retrieving a value:
<syntaxhighlight lang="oorexx">item = map["foo"] -- => 6
item = map["invalid"] -- => .nil</syntaxhighlight>
Note that it is possible to put <code>.nil</code> as a value, so <code>.nil</code> being returned as a value is not sufficient for determining that the key is not in the collection. There is a <code>hasIndex</code> method for that.
Iterate over keys:
<syntaxhighlight lang="oorexx">loop key over map
say key
end
</syntaxhighlight>
Iterate over values:
<syntaxhighlight lang="oorexx">loop value over map~allItems
say value
end
</syntaxhighlight>
Iterate over key, value pairs:
<syntaxhighlight lang="oorexx">
s = map~supplier
loop while s~available
say s~index "=>" s~item
s~next
end

===Key Types===
Keys are strings. Anything else is stringized in Perl's usual ways, which generally means integers work too, but for floating point care might be needed against round-off.
Various <code>tie</code> modules implement keys of other types, usually by constructing underlying string keys of suitable nature. For example <code>Tie::RefHash</code> allows objects (blessed or unblessed) as keys.
=={{header|Phix}}==
Associative arrays are supported via just eight simple routines, with no specialised syntax.<br>
Any key can be mapped to any value, and both can be anything (integer|float|string|[nested]sequence, including 0|NULL).
The setd(key,val) procedure is self-explanatory, except for an optional third parameter which is explained below.
The getd(key) function returns the associated data or 0 for non-existent keys: if that might be a valid value see getd_index().
By default, all keys and values are entered into one central dictionary. You can create multiple dictionaries by calling
integer tid=new_dict(), and pass that as an additional (final) parameter to the other routines (taking care not to miss
any). When you have no further use for it, an entire dictionary can be removed by invoking destroy_dict(tid).

=={{header|Pike}}==
Pike provides a built in type called ''mapping'' for associative
arrays. Any data type including user created classes can be used as
indices (aka keys in some other languages) and values.
There are two main ways of indexing a mapping; a[b] or a->b, with
variants for "safe" indexing that will not throw error when indexing
nonexistent indices. See the documentation for
[https://pike.lysator.liu.se/docs/man/chapter_4.html#4.5 indexing].
''indices()'' and ''values()'' can be used to enumerate the contents
of an existing mapping.
<syntaxhighlight lang="pike">
mapping m = ([ "apple": "fruit", 17: "seventeen" ]);
write("indices: %O\nvalues: %O\n17: %O\n",
indices(m),
values(m),
m[17]);

{{Out}}
<pre>
indices: ({
17,
"apple"
})
values: ({
"seventeen",
"fruit"
})
17: "seventeen"
</pre>
Since any data type can be used nested structures of arbitrary size can
be constructed.
<syntaxhighlight lang="pike">
mapping m2 = ([ "car": ([ "ford":17, "volvo":42 ]) ]);

=={{header|PL/SQL}}==
PL/SQL allows associative arrays defined on two different keys types: Varchar2 or PLS/Integer
Associative Arrays are a PL/SQL only construct. Unlike Oracle Nested Tables or Varrays (the other two types of Oracle collections), associative arrays do not have a corresponding type which can be stored natively in the database. The following code will also show a workaround for this feature.
The following example code is a "record definition", which has nothing to do with associative arrays:-
<syntaxhighlight lang="pl/sql">DECLARE
type ThisIsNotAnAssocArrayType is record (
myShape VARCHAR2(20),
mySize number,
isActive BOOLEAN
);
assocArray ThisIsNotAnAssocArrayType ;
BEGIN
assocArray.myShape := 'circle';
dbms_output.put_line ('assocArray.myShape: ' || assocArray.myShape);
dbms_output.put_line ('assocArray.mySize: ' || assocArray.mySize);
END;

=={{header|PowerShell}}==
An empty hash table can be created with:
<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell">$hashtable = @{}</syntaxhighlight>
A hash table can be initialized with key/value pairs:
<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell">$hashtable = @{
"key1" = "value 1"
key2 = 5 # if the key name has no spaces, no quotes are needed.
}</syntaxhighlight>
Individual values can be assigned or replaced by either using a property-style access method or indexing into the table with the given key:
<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell">$hashtable.foo = "bar"
$hashtable['bar'] = 42
$hashtable."a b" = 3.14 # keys can contain spaces, property-style access needs quotation marks, then
$hashtable[5] = 8 # keys don't need to be strings</syntaxhighlight>
NB. PowerShell compares strings as case-insensitive, that means the hashtable keys 'a' and 'A' are considered the same key. This happens when @{} is turned into a hashtable, but can be overridden by an explicit long-form:
<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell"># Case insensitive keys, both end up as the same key:
$h=@{}
$h['a'] = 1
$h['A'] = 2
$h
Name Value
---- -----
a 2
# Case sensitive keys:
$h = New-Object -TypeName System.Collections.Hashtable
$h['a'] = 1
$h['A'] = 2
$h
Name Value
---- -----
A 2
a 1 </syntaxhighlight>
Similarly, values can be retrieved using either syntax:
<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell">$hashtable.key1 # value 1
$hashtable['key2'] # 5</syntaxhighlight>
It is common to see a hashtable literal used to create an object, by casting it to a new type:
<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell">$obj = [PSCustomObject]@{
"key1" = "value 1"
key2 = 5
}</syntaxhighlight>
This is a convenience syntax, has less code and runs faster than other ways to create objects.

=={{header|PureBasic}}==
Hashes are a built-in type called Map in Purebasic.
<syntaxhighlight lang="purebasic">NewMap dict.s()

=={{header|Python}}==
Hashes are a built-in type called dictionaries (or mappings) in Python.
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">hash = dict() # 'dict' is the dictionary type.
hash = dict(red="FF0000", green="00FF00", blue="0000FF")
hash = { 'key1':1, 'key2':2, }
value = hash[key]</syntaxhighlight>
Numerous methods exist for the mapping type https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#mapping-types-dict
<syntaxhighlight lang="python"># empty dictionary
d = {}
d['spam'] = 1
d['eggs'] = 2
# dictionaries with two keys
d1 = {'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2}
d2 = dict(spam=1, eggs=2)
# dictionaries from tuple list
d1 = dict([('spam', 1), ('eggs', 2)])
d2 = dict(zip(['spam', 'eggs'], [1, 2]))
# iterating over keys
for key in d:
print key, d[key]
# iterating over (key, value) pairs
for key, value in d.iteritems():
print key, value</syntaxhighlight>
Note: Python dictionary keys can be of any arbitrary "hashable" type. The following contains several distinct key value pairs:
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">myDict = { '1': 'a string', 1: 'an integer', 1.0: 'a floating point number', (1,): 'a tuple' }</syntaxhighlight>
(Some other languages such as ''awk'' and ''Perl'' evaluate all keys such that numerically or lexically equivalent expressions become identical entries in the hash or associative array).
User defined classes which implement the ''__hash__()'' special method can also be used as dictionary keys. It's the responsibility of the programmer to ensure the properties of the resultant hash value. The instance object's unique ID
(accessible via the ''id()'' built-in function) is commonly used for this purpose.
=={{header|R}}==
R lacks a native representation of key-value pairs, but different structures allow named elements, which provide similar functionality.

Scheme has association lists (alists), which are inefficient, ordered maps with arbitrary keys and values.
<syntaxhighlight lang="scheme">(define my-dict '((a b) (1 hello) ("c" (a b c)))
(assoc 'a my-dict) ; evaluates to '(a b)</syntaxhighlight>
Hash tables are provided by SRFI-69 [http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-69/srfi-69.html]. Many Scheme implementation also provide native hash tables.
<syntaxhighlight lang="scheme">(define my-alist '((a b) (1 hello) ("c" (a b c)))
(define my-hash (alist->hash-table my-alist))</syntaxhighlight>
The R6RS standard specifies support for hashtables in the [http://www.r6rs.org/final/html/r6rs-lib/r6rs-lib-Z-H-14.html#node_chap_13 standard libraries] document.
<syntaxhighlight lang="scheme">#!r6rs

=== A ''persistent'' associative array from scratch ===
{{works with|CHICKEN|5.3.0}}
{{libheader|r7rs}}
{{libheader|srfi-1}}
{{libheader|srfi-151}}
Most implementations of associative arrays—including those for Scheme—are for ‘''mutable''’ arrays, whose previous values are effectively lost whenever an insertion is done. Here instead is a ''persistent'' (‘''immutable''’) implementation, using code from [[AVL_tree#Scheme|the AVL Tree task]]. (So performance will be on average logarithmic. Just be aware of that.)
That there are so many implementations of associative arrays for Scheme is partly because making an implementation from scratch is fairly easy. But many approaches are difficult to use if the goal is ''persistent'' associative arrays. For instance, if you use a classical hash table, inserting an association would require copying an entire array.
Associate arrays are not part of the Scheme language itself, but are compiler/interpreter or library add-ons. So I feel justified in presenting this sketch of yet another library add-on.

;; Persistent associative arrays for R7RS Scheme.
;;
;; The story:
;;
;; An implementation of associative arrays, where keys are compared
;; with an ‘equal to’ predicate, typically has three parts:
;;
;; * a hash function, which converts a key to a hash value; and
;; the hash value either has a ‘less than’ predicate or can be
;; put in a radix tree;
;;
;; * a table keyed by the hash values;
;;
;; * a way to resolve hash value collisions.
;;
;; At one extreme is the association list, which can be viewed as
;; having a hash function that *always* collides. At a nearly
;; opposite extreme are ideal hash trees, which never have
;; collisions, but which, towards that end, require hash values to
;; ‘grow’ on the fly.
;;
;; Perhaps the simplest form of associative array having all three
;; parts is ‘separate chaining’: the hash function generates an
;; integer modulo some table size; the table itself is an array of
;; that size; and collisions are resolved by falling back to an
;; association list.
;;
;; Below I use my solution to the AVL Tree task
;; (https://rosettacode.org/wiki/AVL_tree#Scheme) to implement
;; *persistent* (that is, ‘immutable’) associative arrays. The hash
;; function is whatever you want, as long as it produces (what
;; Scheme regards as) a real number. Hash value collisions are
;; resolved by falling back to association lists.

It is easy [[Associative_array/Iteration#For_persistent_associative_arrays|to add ''generators'']] to this implementation, by which I mean ‘iterators’ that are themselves executable procedures.
(''Afterword''. To be honest, I would not use the term ‘associative array’, because ‘array’ implies uniformly constant time access, which even a traditional hash table generally cannot provide. I would call these things ‘maps’—or, if the word ‘map’ is heavily used for something else [such as Scheme’s '''map''' procedures], then I would call them ‘dictionaries’.)

=={{header|XLISP}}==
XLISP refers to associative arrays as tables. The <tt>MAKE-TABLE</tt> function returns a new empty table, for instance:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">(define starlings (make-table))</syntaxhighlight>
Values can then be inserted using <tt>TABLE-SET!</tt>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">(table-set! starlings "Common starling" "Sturnus vulgaris")
(table-set! starlings "Abbot's starling" "Poeoptera femoralis")
(table-set! starlings "Cape starling" "Lamprotornis nitens")</syntaxhighlight>
and retrieved using <tt>TABLE-REF</tt> with their keys:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">(table-ref starlings "Cape starling")</syntaxhighlight>
Output in a REPL:
<pre>"Lamprotornis nitens"</pre>
Other functions provided for tables include <tt>MAP-OVER-TABLE-ENTRIES</tt>, which takes a table and a function of two arguments and applies the function to each entry (using the key and value as the two arguments), for instance:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">(map-over-table-entries starlings (lambda (x y) (print (string-append x " (Linnaean name " y ")"))))</syntaxhighlight>
Output in a REPL:
<pre>"Abbott's starling (Linnaean name Poeoptera femoralis)"
"Common starling (Linnaean name Sturnus vulgaris)"
"Cape starling (Linnaean name Lamprotornis nitens)"</pre>
