Dict (Dictionary)

The Dict type represents a key-value mapping in raypy. It's similar to Python dictionaries.

Usage

Creating Dict Values

from raypy.types.container import Dict

# From Python dictionary
user_data = Dict({
    "name": "Alice",
    "age": 29,
    "active": True,
    "score": 95.5
})

# From nested dictionary
config = Dict({
    "database": {
        "host": "localhost",
        "port": 5432,
        "name": "myapp"
    },
    "cache": {
        "enabled": True,
        "ttl": 3600
    }
})

Accessing Keys and Values

user = Dict({"name": "Alice", "age": 29})

# Get keys and values
keys = user.keys()
values = user.values()

print(f"Keys: {[k.value for k in keys]}")
print(f"Values: {[v.value for v in values]}")

Dictionary Comparison

# Compare dictionaries
dict1 = Dict({"name": "Alice", "age": 29})
dict2 = Dict({"name": "Alice", "age": 29})
dict3 = Dict({"name": "Bob", "age": 30})

print("Dictionary Comparison:")
print(f"dict1 keys: {[k.value for k in dict1.keys()]}")
print(f"dict1 values: {[v.value for v in dict1.values()]}")

print(f"dict1 == dict2: {dict1 == dict2}")  # True (same keys and values)
print(f"dict1 == dict3: {dict1 == dict3}")  # False (different values)

Notes

• Dictionaries store key-value pairs.
• Use .keys() to get a vector of all keys
• Use .values() to get a list of all values
• Supports nested dictionaries and complex data structures
• Key order is preserved (insertion order)
• Comparison works between dictionaries with same keys and values
