C# Dictionaries?

I'm trying to make a dictionary when I can easily find out values.

In Lua you can do:

local Blocks = {}
Blocks[x][y][z] = "SomeValue"


What is the C# equivalent to that? I'm new at C# and Unity (after coming from ROBLOX)

 

Code (CSharp):

1. Dictionary<keytype, objectType> dictionaryName;
2.  
3. Dictionary <string, string> fruits = new Dictionary<string, string>();
4.  
5. fruits.Add("apple","macintosh");

 

Are you able to to stuff like this with that code?

fruit["apple"] = "Ripe";

Debug.Log(fruit["apple"]); // Logs "Ripe"

 

Yes.

 

Would anyone mind giving me a working example of dictionaries in C#?

Your problem might be that you're including System.Collections.Generic at the top (with a using statement).

Hang on a sec, I'll stick something up here.

Code (csharp):

1.         Dictionary <string, string> fruits = new Dictionary<string, string>();
2.         fruits.Add("apple","macintosh");
3.         Debug.Log( fruits["apple"]);

 

I'm getting these errors:
cs(9,17): error CS1519: Unexpected symbol `(' in class, struct, or interface member declaration
cs(11,19): error CS0178: Invalid rank specifier: expected `,' or `]'

With this code:


using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Inventory : MonoBehaviour {

Dictionary<string, string> Test = new Dictionary<string, string>();

Test.Add("Test1","Test2");

Debug.Log(Test["Test1"]);

}

Copy pasting random snippets with no understanding of them isn't going to get you very far...

But just because I'm a nice guy, the last two lines of your code need to go into a method.

 

you need to do some basic scripting tutorials.

 

You can learn about using MonoBehaviour here:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CreatingAndUsingScripts.html

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4. using System.Collections.Generic;// this namespace is required to import dictionaries
5.  
6. public class dictionaryExample : MonoBehaviour {
7.     public Dictionary<string, bool> myDictionary = new Dictionary<string, bool>();// declair key type and value type : <string, bool>
8.     public Dictionary<string, string> myDictionary2 = new Dictionary<string, string>();
9.  
10.     // Use this for initialization
11.     void Start () {
12.         if (myDictionary.Count < 10) {// gets count on dictionary
13.             string c = myDictionary.Count.ToString ();
14.             myDictionary.Add (c, false); // adds to dictionary
15.             myDictionary2.Add (c, c);
16.         }
17.         foreach (KeyValuePair<string, bool> i in myDictionary) { //you can use this  to return keys and values (key value pair)
18.             Debug.Log (i.Key);// i.Key will rwtun the key for that KVP
19.             Debug.Log(i.Value);// i.Value returns value fot the KVP
20.         }
21.         foreach (var i in myDictionary2) {// var can me used as a shortcut for many class types (in this case KeyValuePair <string, string>)
22.             Debug.Log (i.Key);
23.             Debug.Log(i.Value);
24.         }
25.         Debug.Log (myDictionary ["0"]);// this overload : myDictionary["0"]   will return the value associated to the Key : "0"
26.         if (myDictionary.ContainsKey ("9")) {
27.             myDictionary.Remove ("9"); // will remove a KVP
28.             Debug.Log ("Has Removed");
29.         }
30.         myDictionary2.Clear ();// will clear the dictionary
31.     }
32. }
33.  

 

Do you have a specific application for your dictionaries or just a general rundown of what they are? The C# page on .NET is pretty good at showing them off.

 

It's a spam bot.

 

I had a hunch given the links, maybe the bot wanted to learn about dictionaries? Cheers
