  Is there a dictionary type in Nimrod like there is in python? something like

  dict = {'Alice': '2341', 'Beth': '9102', 'Cecil': '3258'}

  If you would like to have a dictionary of strings to strings then you can use the strtabs module. It can be used like so:

  
  import strtabs
  var mytab = newStringTable({"Alice": "2341", "Beth": "9102"},
                             modeCaseInsensitive)
  echo(mytab["Alice"]) #=> 2341
  Run

  If you want a dictionary (hashtable) of any type then you can use the tables module. It can be used like so:

  
  import tables
  var mytab = {"Alice": 2341, "Beth": 9102}.toTable()
  echo(mytab["Alice"]) #=> 2341
  Run
