Dictionary
==========

[](#dictionary)

Dictionary Type. Keys and values are strongly typed, so you will know what you get.

Usage

[](#usage)

Immagine you have a class with member data called Member. A member has a firstnamer, lastname and an age. To identify a member you have the type MemberId.

Now you want to have an array where you can put the members into. Now it's a nice idea to get the member information of a specific member by accessing the array with the MemberId. But you can't set the MemberId as the key.

With the Dictionary type this problem is history!

You simply create a Dictionary with the MemberId as the key and the Member as the value like this:

```

```

Now you can add your members to the dictionary like this:

```

```

Where $memberId is of the type MemberId and $member of the type Member.

But you can also add a member with the identifier like you can add a normal key-value-pair (string/int) in a normal array.

```

```

**Notice: Your IDE may mark it as an error, but the code will run properly!**

Now if you filled your dictionary with members you can do following:

```
