Es6 maps and sets freecodecamp news
Here are some key updates and features related to ES6 Maps and Sets from FreeCodeCamp:
ES6 Maps
- Introducing Maps: In ES6, Maps are a new data structure that allows you to store key-value pairs. Maps are similar to objects, but they can have non-string keys.
- Creating a Map: You can create a new Map using the
Map
constructor, like this:let myMap = new Map();
- Adding key-value pairs: You can add key-value pairs to a Map using the
set
method, like this:myMap.set('key', 'value');
- Getting values: You can get the value associated with a key using the
get
method, like this:myMap.get('key');
- Iterating over a Map: You can iterate over a Map using the
forEach
method, like this:myMap.forEach((value, key) => console.log(key, value));
ES6 Sets
- Introducing Sets: In ES6, Sets are a new data structure that allows you to store unique values. Sets are similar to arrays, but they only store unique values.
- Creating a Set: You can create a new Set using the
Set
constructor, like this:let mySet = new Set();
- Adding values: You can add values to a Set using the
add
method, like this:mySet.add('value');
- Checking for membership: You can check if a value is in a Set using the
has
method, like this:mySet.has('value');
- Iterating over a Set: You can iterate over a Set using the
forEach
method, like this:mySet.forEach(value => console.log(value));
FreeCodeCamp Challenges
- Map Challenges: FreeCodeCamp has several challenges that involve working with Maps, such as "Map Basics" and "Map Methods".
- Set Challenges: FreeCodeCamp also has several challenges that involve working with Sets, such as "Set Basics" and "Set Methods".
