Std.SortedMap.nth

1 declaration

fn

nth: &Std.SortedMap.SortedMap[K, V] -> Int -> Option[(K, V)]

This is a callable function.

What it does

The entry at a position in key order, or None when there is none.

An ordered structure knows which entry is the tenth; a map that only answers

about keys does not, and a caller wanting a median, a percentile, or a page

of results has to read everything out to count.

Read the signature

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
  • & borrows a value for this call instead of moving or copying it.
  • Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
  • Option holds Some(value) or None when no value is available.
