Struct std::collections::hash_map::HashMap [] [src]

pub struct HashMap<K, V, S = RandomState> {
    // some fields omitted
}

A hash map implementation which uses linear probing with Robin Hood bucket stealing.

The hashes are all keyed by the thread-local random number generator on creation by default. This means that the ordering of the keys is randomized, but makes the tables more resistant to denial-of-service attacks (Hash DoS). This behavior can be overridden with one of the constructors.

It is required that the keys implement the Eq and Hash traits, although this can frequently be achieved by using #[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Hash)]. If you implement these yourself, it is important that the following property holds:

k1 == k2 -> hash(k1) == hash(k2)

In other words, if two keys are equal, their hashes must be equal.

It is a logic error for a key to be modified in such a way that the key's hash, as determined by the Hash trait, or its equality, as determined by the Eq trait, changes while it is in the map. This is normally only possible through Cell, RefCell, global state, I/O, or unsafe code.

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; // type inference lets us omit an explicit type signature (which // would be `HashMap<&str, &str>` in this example). let mut book_reviews = HashMap::new(); // review some books. book_reviews.insert("Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", "My favorite book."); book_reviews.insert("Grimms' Fairy Tales", "Masterpiece."); book_reviews.insert("Pride and Prejudice", "Very enjoyable."); book_reviews.insert("The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", "Eye lyked it alot."); // check for a specific one. if !book_reviews.contains_key("Les Misérables") { println!("We've got {} reviews, but Les Misérables ain't one.", book_reviews.len()); } // oops, this review has a lot of spelling mistakes, let's delete it. book_reviews.remove("The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"); // look up the values associated with some keys. let to_find = ["Pride and Prejudice", "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland"]; for book in &to_find { match book_reviews.get(book) { Some(review) => println!("{}: {}", book, review), None => println!("{} is unreviewed.", book) } } // iterate over everything. for (book, review) in &book_reviews { println!("{}: \"{}\"", book, review); } }
use std::collections::HashMap;

// type inference lets us omit an explicit type signature (which
// would be `HashMap<&str, &str>` in this example).
let mut book_reviews = HashMap::new();

// review some books.
book_reviews.insert("Adventures of Huckleberry Finn",    "My favorite book.");
book_reviews.insert("Grimms' Fairy Tales",               "Masterpiece.");

    println!("We've got {} reviews, but Les Misérables ain't one.",
             book_reviews.len());
}

// oops, this review has a lot of spelling mistakes, let's delete it.

    }
}

The easiest way to use HashMap with a custom type as key is to derive Eq and Hash. We must also derive PartialEq.

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; #[derive(Hash, Eq, PartialEq, Debug)] struct Viking { name: String, country: String, } impl Viking { /// Create a new Viking. fn new(name: &str, country: &str) -> Viking { Viking { name: name.to_string(), country: country.to_string() } } } // Use a HashMap to store the vikings' health points. let mut vikings = HashMap::new(); vikings.insert(Viking::new("Einar", "Norway"), 25); vikings.insert(Viking::new("Olaf", "Denmark"), 24); vikings.insert(Viking::new("Harald", "Iceland"), 12); // Use derived implementation to print the status of the vikings. for (viking, health) in &vikings { println!("{:?} has {} hp", viking, health); } }
use std::collections::HashMap;

#[derive(Hash, Eq, PartialEq, Debug)]
struct Viking {
    name: String,
    country: String,
}

impl Viking {
    /// Create a new Viking.
    fn new(name: &str, country: &str) -> Viking {
        Viking { name: name.to_string(), country: country.to_string() }
    }
}

// Use a HashMap to store the vikings' health points.
let mut vikings = HashMap::new();

vikings.insert(Viking::new("Einar", "Norway"), 25);
vikings.insert(Viking::new("Olaf", "Denmark"), 24);
vikings.insert(Viking::new("Harald", "Iceland"), 12);

// Use derived implementation to print the status of the vikings.
for (viking, health) in &vikings {
    println!("{:?} has {} hp", viking, health);
}

Methods

impl<K: Hash + Eq, V> HashMap<K, V, RandomState>

fn new() -> HashMap<K, V, RandomState>

Creates an empty HashMap.

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let mut map: HashMap<&str, isize> = HashMap::new(); }
use std::collections::HashMap;
let mut map: HashMap<&str, isize> = HashMap::new();

fn with_capacity(capacity: usize) -> HashMap<K, V, RandomState>

Creates an empty hash map with the given initial capacity.

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let mut map: HashMap<&str, isize> = HashMap::with_capacity(10); }
use std::collections::HashMap;
let mut map: HashMap<&str, isize> = HashMap::with_capacity(10);

impl<K, V, S> HashMap<K, V, S> where K: Eq + Hash, S: HashState

fn with_hash_state(hash_state: S) -> HashMap<K, V, S>

Unstable (hashmap_hasher #27713)

: hasher stuff is unclear

Creates an empty hashmap which will use the given hasher to hash keys.

The created map has the default initial capacity.

Examples

#![feature(hashmap_hasher)] fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; use std::collections::hash_map::RandomState; let s = RandomState::new(); let mut map = HashMap::with_hash_state(s); map.insert(1, 2); }
#![feature(hashmap_hasher)]

use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::collections::hash_map::RandomState;

let s = RandomState::new();
let mut map = HashMap::with_hash_state(s);
map.insert(1, 2);

fn with_capacity_and_hash_state(capacity: usize, hash_state: S) -> HashMap<K, V, S>

Unstable (hashmap_hasher #27713)

: hasher stuff is unclear

Creates an empty HashMap with space for at least capacity elements, using hasher to hash the keys.

Warning: hasher is normally randomly generated, and is designed to allow HashMaps to be resistant to attacks that cause many collisions and very poor performance. Setting it manually using this function can expose a DoS attack vector.

Examples

#![feature(hashmap_hasher)] fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; use std::collections::hash_map::RandomState; let s = RandomState::new(); let mut map = HashMap::with_capacity_and_hash_state(10, s); map.insert(1, 2); }
#![feature(hashmap_hasher)]

use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::collections::hash_map::RandomState;

let s = RandomState::new();
let mut map = HashMap::with_capacity_and_hash_state(10, s);
map.insert(1, 2);

fn capacity(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of elements the map can hold without reallocating.

This number is a lower bound; the HashMap<K, V> might be able to hold more, but is guaranteed to be able to hold at least this many.

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let map: HashMap<isize, isize> = HashMap::with_capacity(100); assert!(map.capacity() >= 100); }
use std::collections::HashMap;
let map: HashMap<isize, isize> = HashMap::with_capacity(100);
assert!(map.capacity() >= 100);

fn reserve(&mut self, additional: usize)

Reserves capacity for at least additional more elements to be inserted in the HashMap. The collection may reserve more space to avoid frequent reallocations.

Panics

Panics if the new allocation size overflows usize.

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let mut map: HashMap<&str, isize> = HashMap::new(); map.reserve(10); }
use std::collections::HashMap;
let mut map: HashMap<&str, isize> = HashMap::new();
map.reserve(10);

fn shrink_to_fit(&mut self)

Shrinks the capacity of the map as much as possible. It will drop down as much as possible while maintaining the internal rules and possibly leaving some space in accordance with the resize policy.

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let mut map: HashMap<isize, isize> = HashMap::with_capacity(100); map.insert(1, 2); map.insert(3, 4); assert!(map.capacity() >= 100); map.shrink_to_fit(); assert!(map.capacity() >= 2); }
use std::collections::HashMap;

let mut map: HashMap<isize, isize> = HashMap::with_capacity(100);
map.insert(1, 2);
map.insert(3, 4);
assert!(map.capacity() >= 100);
map.shrink_to_fit();
assert!(map.capacity() >= 2);

for val in map.values() {
    println!("{}", val);
}

fn iter(&self) -> Iter<K, V>

map.insert("a", 1);
map.insert("b", 2);
map.insert("c", 3);

for (key, val) in map.iter() {
    println!("key: {} val: {}", key, val);
}

fn iter_mut(&mut self) -> IterMut<K, V>

An iterator visiting all key-value pairs in arbitrary order, with mutable references to the values. Iterator element type is (&'a K, &'a mut V).

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let mut map = HashMap::new(); map.insert("a", 1); map.insert("b", 2); map.insert("c", 3); // Update all values for (_, val) in map.iter_mut() { *val *= 2; } for (key, val) in &map { println!("key: {} val: {}", key, val); } }
use std::collections::HashMap;

let mut map = HashMap::new();
map.insert("a", 1);
map.insert("b", 2);
map.insert("c", 3);

// Update all values
for (_, val) in map.iter_mut() {
    *val *= 2;
}

for (key, val) in &map {
    println!("key: {} val: {}", key, val);
}

fn entry(&mut self, key: K) -> Entry<K, V>

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let mut letters = HashMap::new(); for ch in "a short treatise on fungi".chars() { let counter = letters.entry(ch).or_insert(0); *counter += 1; } assert_eq!(letters[&'s'], 2); assert_eq!(letters[&'t'], 3); assert_eq!(letters[&'u'], 1); assert_eq!(letters.get(&'y'), None); }
use std::collections::HashMap;

let mut letters = HashMap::new();

    let counter = letters.entry(ch).or_insert(0);
    *counter += 1;
}

assert_eq!(letters[&'s'], 2);

let mut a = HashMap::new();
assert!(a.is_empty());
a.insert(1, "a");
assert!(!a.is_empty());

fn drain(&mut self) -> Drain<K, V>

Clears the map, returning all key-value pairs as an iterator. Keeps the allocated memory for reuse.

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let mut a = HashMap::new(); a.insert(1, "a"); a.insert(2, "b"); for (k, v) in a.drain().take(1) { assert!(k == 1 || k == 2); assert!(v == "a" || v == "b"); } assert!(a.is_empty()); }
use std::collections::HashMap;

let mut a = HashMap::new();
a.insert(1, "a");
a.insert(2, "b");

for (k, v) in a.drain().take(1) {
    assert!(k == 1 || k == 2);
    assert!(v == "a" || v == "b");
}

assert!(a.is_empty());

a.clear();
assert!(a.is_empty());

fn get<Q: ?Sized>(&self, k: &Q) -> Option<&V> where K: Borrow<Q>, Q: Hash + Eq

Returns a reference to the value corresponding to the key.

The key may be any borrowed form of the map's key type, but Hash and Eq on the borrowed form must match those for the key type.

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let mut map = HashMap::new(); map.insert(1, "a"); assert_eq!(map.get(&1), Some(&"a")); assert_eq!(map.get(&2), None); }
use std::collections::HashMap;

assert_eq!(map.get(&2), None);

fn contains_key<Q: ?Sized>(&self, k: &Q) -> bool where K: Borrow<Q>, Q: Hash + Eq

Returns true if the map contains a value for the specified key.

The key may be any borrowed form of the map's key type, but Hash and Eq on the borrowed form must match those for the key type.

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let mut map = HashMap::new(); map.insert(1, "a"); assert_eq!(map.contains_key(&1), true); assert_eq!(map.contains_key(&2), false); }
use std::collections::HashMap;

let mut map = HashMap::new();

use std::collections::HashMap;

let mut map = HashMap::new();
map.insert(1, "a");
if let Some(x) = map.get_mut(&1) {
    *x = "b";
}
assert_eq!(map[&1], "b");

fn insert(&mut self, k: K, v: V) -> Option<V>

Inserts a key-value pair into the map.

If the map did not have this key present, None is returned.

If the map did have this key present, the key is not updated, the value is updated and the old value is returned. See the module-level documentation for more.

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let mut map = HashMap::new(); assert_eq!(map.insert(37, "a"), None); assert_eq!(map.is_empty(), false); map.insert(37, "b"); assert_eq!(map.insert(37, "c"), Some("b")); assert_eq!(map[&37], "c"); }
use std::collections::HashMap;

let mut map = HashMap::new();
assert_eq!(map.insert(37, "a"), None);

assert_eq!(map.insert(37, "c"), Some("b"));
assert_eq!(map[&37], "c");

fn remove<Q: ?Sized>(&mut self, k: &Q) -> Option<V> where K: Borrow<Q>, Q: Hash + Eq

Removes a key from the map, returning the value at the key if the key was previously in the map.

The key may be any borrowed form of the map's key type, but Hash and Eq on the borrowed form must match those for the key type.

Examples

fn main() { use std::collections::HashMap; let mut map = HashMap::new(); map.insert(1, "a"); assert_eq!(map.remove(&1), Some("a")); assert_eq!(map.remove(&1), None); }
use std::collections::HashMap;

let mut map = HashMap::new();
map.insert(1, "a");
assert_eq!(map.remove(&1), Some("a"));
assert_eq!(map.remove(&1), None);
