MATLAB: Is it possible to create a hashtable with a builtin MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a) function

hashMATLABtable

I want to store data in a hashtable. I am not familiar with hashtables enough to write my own implementation and want an out-of-the-box implementation in MATLAB.

Best Answer

MATLAB implements a hastable using a MATLAB class called containers.Map.

For more information about this MATLAB class, please see MATLAB documentation at:

You may access the same page locally by typing the following at the MATLAB prompt:

Hopefully this example helps to explain. You can obviously skip over the creating bit as you already have a table and presumably you just want to get all of the values out of it.

% create example Java hashtable and add some key/value pairs
h = java.util.Hashtable;
h.put('Name', 'John');
h.put('Country', 'UK');
% retrieve the value for a specific key
h.get('Name');
% retrieve all key names
allKeys = arrayfun(@char, h.keySet.toArray, 'UniformOutput', false);
% retrieve all key values
allValues = cellfun(@(x) h.get(x), allKeys, 'UniformOutput', false);
