Implementation of a hashmap data structure, i.e. an unordered
collection of key-value pairs:
$$f: keys -> values.$$
Hashmaps only to store unique keys-value pairs. For a data structure
where multiple identical keys can be stores see multimap
.
Inserting and accessing is amortized in O(1).
hashmap
wraps a C++ unordered_map
using Rcpp modules.
Also see '>bimap
for mappings in both ways.
