Hi,

}
writeln(aa.byPair.maxElement!(p => p[1])[0]);
or with https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/5436 :
writeln(aa.byPair.maxElement!(p => p.value).key);

Simple enough: get all key/values pairs in the AA, and ask for
the element which is the maximum relatively to the value, then
take its key.
auto maxIndex(int[ulong] aa) {
import std.algorithm;
return aa.byKeyValue
.maxElement!(x => x.value)
.key;
}
Thank you! I used this solution in the end. I had looked at the
.byKeyValue and .byPair methods but they didn't seem to work -
turns out I was using an old DMD version!

Try this:
void main() {
import std.algorithm.iteration : fold;
import std.array : byPair;
import std.stdio : writeln;
int[ulong] aa = [1UL: 2000,
2UL: 5000,
5UL: 1000];
writeln(aa.byPair
.fold!((a,b) => a[1] < b[1] ? b : a)[0]);
}
Note that an associative array really isn't the best data structure if
you'll be performing this operation frequently, because you'll be
iterating over the entire contents each time. You may want to consider
using a sorted container like a RedBlackTree in std.container or
something similar instead.
