ArrayedCollection
Base Class Library
| ArrayedCollection | Base Class Library | Bag |
An instance of association stores key/data pairs. The key and data must both be objects, unless Association is cloned (by sending it the "newClass" message) to provide a class where the key, data, or both are intrinsics.
See method newClass.
Association is mostly used in conjunction with the Dictionary and IdentityDictionary classes. Either Association (or a clone of the Association class) is used as a template for instantiating a dictionary "ofValues", or instances of Association are stored in a dictionary "ofAssociations".
See class dictionary.
See class identitydictionary.
Include this entry in the Class-Control paragraph of any program using this class.
Association is class "associtn"
