6579 :: Is it necessary to extract the content of a Table into a sequence for ordering

• Serge (orginal) [2020-07-23T12:50:29+02:00] view original

  Here is an example (snippet):

  Dico is a table

  var Dico = initTablestring, int

  #wc is a tuple

  type wc = tuple

  word: string count: int

  wc_seq is a sequence

  var wc_seq: seq[wc]

  for p in Dico.pairs:

  wc_seq.add(p)

  sorting the sequence:

  wc_seq.sort(myCmp)

  I learned recently that there is an ordered table, and a sort() proc which can be applied to that ordered table. But I have not used it myself.

  Or use a sorted Seq and binary search

  @Serge - it looks like you probably want CountTable which also has a sort proc available. See https://nim-lang.org/docs/tables.html
