Meena's Class Prints: DICTIONARY OBJECT IN VBSCRIPT

Dictionary object:

The Dictionary object stores information in name/value pairs.
The Dictionary object might seem similar to Arrays, however, the Dictionary object is a more desirable solution to manipulate related data.

Comparing Dictionaries and Arrays:

Keys are used to identify the items in a Dictionary object
You do not have to call ReDim to change the size of the Dictionary object
When deleting an item from a Dictionary, the remaining items will automatically shift up
Dictionaries cannot be multidimensional, Arrays can
Dictionaries have more built-in functions than Arrays
Dictionaries work better than arrays on accessing random elements frequently
Dictionaries work better than arrays on locating items by their content
The Dictionary object's properties:
CompareMode-Sets or returns the comparison mode for comparing keys in a Dictionary object
Count-Returns the number of key/item pairs in a Dictionary object
Item-Sets or returns the value of an item in a Dictionary object
Key-Sets a new key value for an existing key value in a Dictionary object
Methods of Dictionary object:
Add-Adds a new key/item pair to a Dictionary object
Exists-Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether a specified key exists in the Dictionary object
Items-Returns an array of all the items in a Dictionary object
Keys-Returns an array of all the keys in a Dictionary object
Remove-Removes one specified key/item pair from the Dictionary object
RemoveAll-Removes all the key/item pairs in the Dictionary object
Example:
<html>
<body>

     <script language="vbscript" type="text/vbscript">
     Dim d
     Set d=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
     d.Add "re","Red"
     d.Add "gr","Green"
     d.Add "bl","Blue"
     d.Add "pi","Pink"
     Response.Write("The value of key gr is: " & d.Item("gr"))
     </script>

</body>
</html>

Output:

The value of key gr is: Green
