beginner Q: hashtable or dictionary?
Standard R vectors and list elements can given names, and can be accessed by them. This allows them to be used like the dictionaries or hashes of other languages. For example
x = c("a"=1, "b"=2, "c"=3)
x["a"]
a 1
x["foo"] = "bar" x["foo"]
foo "bar"
x
a b c foo "1" "2" "3" "bar" -Greg

Hi, Is there something like a hashtable or (python) dictionary in R/Splus? (If not, is there a reason why it's not needed / typical way to accomplish the same thing?) Thank you
