I've always wanted an array or object with range keys like: arr[0–2] = 123; if(arr[1.5555]>122){}

- paulddraper 2y agoIn Python it’s a colon.
- econ 2y agoNice, covers at least some of the abstraction "problem".
- yesbabyyes 2y agoThat doesn't seem to be an array at all, if the idea is to check whether a number is within a range. Seems like an interesting data type though, a combination of a range data type and a map/associative array.
- econ 2y agoI was thinking of a sparse array but any name will do. obj[~42] ? One may have a bunch of key ranges each associated with a value or one may have a key that should be "rounded" to the nearest key or retreave the one below or above it. It feels like something basic enough to have in a language and I found it oddly complicated to write myself. Comparing it with all values doesn't seem like a very good solution. Not that I know many languages.
