function 'map(map<any|error> m,  function(any|error) returns (any|error) func) returns map<any|error>

Applies a function each member of a map and returns a map of the result.

The resulting map will have the same keys as the argument map.

map<int> marks = {"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60};
marks.map(m => m > 50) ⇒ {"Carl":true,"Bob":false,"Max":true}

function entries(map<any|error> m) returns map<[string, any|error]>

Returns a map containing [key, member] pair as the value for each key.

{"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50}.entries() ⇒ {"Carl":["Carl",85],"Bob":["Bob",50]}

function filter(map<any|error> m,  function(any|error) returns (boolean) func) returns map<any|error>

Selects the members from a map for which a function returns true.

map<int> marks = {"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60};
marks.filter(m => m >= 60) ⇒ {"Carl":85,"Max":60}

function forEach(map<any|error> m,  function(any|error) returns (() ) func) returns () 

Applies a function to each member of a map.

The parameter func is applied to each member of parameter m.

int total = 0;
{"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60}.forEach(function (int m) {
    total += m;
});
total ⇒ 195

function get(map<any|error> m, string k) returns any|error

Returns the member of a map with given key.

This for use in a case where it is known that the map has a specific key, and accordingly panics if parameter m does not have a member with parameter k key.

map<int> marks = {"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60};
marks.get("Carl") ⇒ 85
marks.get("John") ⇒ panic

function hasKey(map<any|error> m, string k) returns boolean

Tests whether a map value has a member with a given key.

map<int> marks = {"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60};
marks.hasKey("Carl") ⇒ true
marks.hasKey("John") ⇒ false

function iterator(map<any|error> m) returns object {
    public isolated function next() returns record {|
        Type value;
    |}?;
} 

Returns an iterator over a map.

The iterator will iterate over the members of the map not the keys. The function entries can be used to iterate over the keys and members together. The function keys can be used to iterator over just the keys.

object {
    public isolated function next() returns record {|int value;|}?;
} iterator = {"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60}.iterator();
iterator.next() ⇒ {"value":85}

function keys(map<any|error> m) returns string[]

Returns a list of all the keys of a map.

{"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60}.keys() ⇒ ["Carl","Bob","Max"]

function length(map<any|error> m) returns int

Returns number of members of a map.

{"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60}.length() ⇒ 3

function reduce(map<any|error> m,  function(any|error, any|error) returns (any|error) func, any|error initial) returns any|error

Combines the members of a map using a combining function.

The combining function takes the combined value so far and a member of the map, and returns a new combined value.

map<int> marks = {"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60};
marks.reduce(isolated function (int total, int next) returns int => total + next, 0) ⇒ 195

function remove(map<any|error> m, string k) returns any|error

Removes a member of a map.

This removes the member of parameter m with key parameter k and returns it. It panics if there is no such member.

map<int> marks = {"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60};
marks.remove("Carl") ⇒ 85
marks ⇒ {"Bob":50,"Max":60}
marks.remove("John") ⇒ panic

function removeAll(map<any|error> m) returns () 

Removes all members of a map.

This panics if any member cannot be removed.

map<int> marks = {"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60};
marks.removeAll();
marks ⇒ {}
map<int> values = <record {|int x; int y;|}> {x: 10, y: 20};
values.removeAll() ⇒ panic;

function removeIfHasKey(map<any|error> m, string k) returns any|error?

Removes a member of a map with a given key, if the map has member with the key.

If parameter m has a member with key parameter k, it removes and returns it; otherwise it returns ().

map<int> marks = {"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60};
marks.removeIfHasKey("Carl") ⇒ 85
marks ⇒ {"Bob":50,"Max":60}
marks.removeIfHasKey("John") is () ⇒ true

function toArray(map<any|error> m) returns any|error[]

Returns a list of all the members of a map.

{"Carl": 85, "Bob": 50, "Max": 60}.toArray() ⇒ [85,50,60]
