Hi
I remember at last year’s summit, JPR was emphasising how objects were far more
optimised than arrays for doing lookups over large numbers of key value pairs.
e.g. we usually do this:
$x:=find in array(myKEYS;”product_code_x”)
if($x>0)
$0:=myPRICES{$x}
end if
How do people prefer to do this with objects ? Enumerate the keys in some
systematic way and then populate the object like this >
For($i;1;$SIZE)
$key:=string($i)
$value:=myarrayVAL{$i}
OB SET($object;$key;$value)
End For
Then for retreiving:
$key:=string($1)
$0:=OB Get($object;$key)
…or was JPR suggesting we use object arrays and do some kind of “find” over the
object arrays ?
Best Regards
Peter
