Hello,
I've been trying to find how find() and erase() worked for arrays. I saw
in chuck_lang.cpp array_find and array_erase, but they were given a
string as an input. Which I thought was pretty bizarre, but I tested it
out, and when I write arr.erase("foo"); it compiles (same with find),
even when arr is an int array, but it doesn't really do anything (find
always returns 0, which I assume means "I can't find anything"). It
doesn't even do anything if arr is a string array. I eventually found
the implementations in chuck_oo.(h|cpp). There is a chuck_array struct,
and two of the member function are erase and find. These functions just
run erase and find on the struct's public map. And the input for the
functions is the key, which is always a string. But why is there a map
in the structs? Like, it seems like the vector is what holds the data
(whether it's 4, 8, 16, 24, or 32 bit data), but what does the map hold?
Is it supposed to be internal stuff a user shouldn't have access to?
Then why is there erase() and find() which uses the map? And why is the
key always a string? I do not understand.
