|
||
| In Dart, the **`.update()`** method is used to update the value for a specific key in a `Map`. It takes a key and a function that computes the new value based on the existing value. If the key does not exist, an optional `ifAbsent` function can be provided to add a new key-value pair. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Syntax | ||
|
|
||
| ```pseudo | ||
| mapVariable.update(key, (value) => newValue) | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| - `mapVariable`: The `Map` to be updated. | ||
| - `key`: The key whose value needs to be updated. | ||
| - `value`: The current value associated with the key. | ||
| - `newValue`: The new value to replace the existing value. | ||
|
|
||
| An optional `ifAbsent` parameter can be used to add a key if it does not exist: | ||
|
|
||
| ```pseudo | ||
| mapVariable.update(key, (value) => newValue, ifAbsent: () => defaultValue) | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| - `ifAbsent`: A function that returns a default value if the key is not found. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Example 1 | ||
|
|
||
| In the following example, the `.update()` method is used to update the value for an existing key in a `Map`: | ||
|
|
||
| ```dart | ||
| void main() { | ||
| Map<String, int> fruits = {'Apple': 5, 'Banana': 3}; | ||
|
|
||
| // Update the value for 'Apple' | ||
| fruits.update('Apple', (value) => value + 2); | ||
|
|
||
| print(fruits); | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Here is the output for the above example: | ||
|
|
||
| ```shell | ||
| {Apple: 7, Banana: 3} | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Example 2 | ||
|
|
||
| The `.update()` method can use the `ifAbsent` parameter to add a key if it does not exist: | ||
|
|
||
| ```dart | ||
| void main() { | ||
| Map<String, int> fruits = {'Apple': 5}; | ||
|
|
||
| // 'Orange' does not exist, so ifAbsent adds it | ||
| fruits.update('Orange', (value) => value + 5, ifAbsent: () => 10); | ||
|
|
||
| print(fruits); | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Here is the output for the above example: | ||
|
|
||
| ```shell | ||
| {Apple: 5, Orange: 10} | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Example 3 | ||
|
|
||
| The `.update()` method can also work with different [data types](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/dart/data-types) for keys and values: | ||
|
|
||
| ```dart | ||
| void main() { | ||
| Map<int, String> students = {1: 'Alice', 2: 'Bob'}; | ||
|
|
||
| // Update the value for key 1 | ||
| students.update(1, (value) => '$value Smith'); | ||
|
|
||
| print(students); | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Here is the output for the above example: | ||
|
|
||
| ```shell | ||
| {1: Alice Smith, 2: Bob} | ||
| ``` | ||
