std/collection

List and HashMap are in the automatic prelude. Import the module explicitly when using a module namespace:

import "std/collection" as collection;

List

List<T> is a linked collection:

var queue = new List<String>();
queue.push("compile");
queue.push("link");

println(queue.popFront());
println(toString(queue.len()));

Group	Methods
Inspect	len(), isEmpty(), front(), back(), at(index)
Add	push(value), pushFront(value), insert(index, value)
Change	set(index, value)
Remove	popFront(), popBack(), removeAt(index), clear()

Invalid indices and operations that require an element from an empty list call panic.

HashMap

HashMap<V> stores values under String keys:

var ports = new HashMap<Int>();
ports.put("http", 80);
ports.put("https", 443);

var secure = ports.getOr("https", 0);

Methods: len(), isEmpty(), clear(), contains(key), put(key, value), get(key), getOr(key, fallback), remove(key), and bucketCapacity().

get calls panic when the key is absent. Use contains or getOr when absence is expected.
