Subject: | [Caml-list] sorting Hashtbl.t |
Hi Hashtbl.iter does not always iterate in an orderly fashion, for instance let h = Hashtbl.create 3 in for i = 1 to 10 do Hashtbl.add h i i done; Hashtbl.iter (Printf.printf "%d, %d\n") h;; Produces: 7, 7 8, 8 1, 1 9, 9 2, 2 10, 10 3, 3 4, 4 5, 5 6, 6 Is there any way to sort Hashtlb.t or otherwise make Hashtbl.iter iterate elements in order [1]? Thanks Oleg [1] One could of course copy elements to a list or an array, then sort and iterate the latter, but I suppose it is inefficient, as hash table elements are "almost sorted". ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
