Creates a new SplayTreeMap, populating it with values from the Enumerable or the Iterable seed object, and with a default return value for any missing key.

stm = SplayTreeMap.new({"this" => "that", "something" => "else"}, "Unknown")
stm["something"] # => "else"

# => {"key1" => "value1", "key2" => "value2", "key3" => "value3"}

Compares two SplayTreeMaps. All contained objects must also be comparable, or this method will trigger an exception.

Searches for the given key in the tree and returns the associated value. If the key is not in the tree, a KeyError will be raised.

stm["foo"] = "bar"
stm["foo"] # => "bar"

stm = SplayTreeMap(String, String).new("bar")
stm["foo"] # => "bar"

stm = SplayTreeMap(String, String).new { "bar" }

stm = Hash(String, String).new
stm["foo"] # raises KeyError

stm.compact! # => {"hello" => "world"}
stm.compact! # => nil

Deletes the key-value pair and returns the value, else yields key with given block.

stm = SplayTreeMap.new({"foo" => "bar"})
stm.delete("foo")     # => "bar"
stm.fetch("foo", nil) # => nil

stm_b.merge!({"baz" => "qux"})
stm_a # => {"foo" => "bar"}

Calls the given block for each key/value pair, passing the pair into the block.

stm = SplayTreeMap.new({"foo" => "bar"})

stm.each do |key, value|
  key   # => "foo"

The enumeration follows the order the keys were inserted.

Returns an iterator which can be used to access all of the elements in the tree.

stm.each_value do |value|
  value # => "bar"
end

The enumeration is in tree order, from smallest to largest.

Returns an iterator over the hash values. Which behaves like an Iterator consisting of the value's types.

stm.empty? # => true
stm[1] = 1
stm.empty? # => false

stm.fetch("bar") { "default value" }  # => "default value"

stm.has_value?("2") # => true
stm.has_value?("4") # => false

Returns the largest key equal to or less than the provided limit argument. Returns nil if the SplayTreeMap is empty.

Returns the largest key in the tree.

Get the maximum size of the tree. If set to nil, the size in unbounded.

Set the maximum size of the tree. If set to nil, the size is unbounded. If the size is set to a value that is less than the current size, an immediate prune operation will be performed.

Returns a new SplayTreeMap with the keys and values of this tree and other combined. A value in other takes precedence over the one in this tree. Key types must be comparable or this will cause a missing no overload matches exception on compilation.

stm = SplayTreeMap.new({"foo" => "bar"})
stm.merge({"baz" => "qux"}) # => {"foo" => "bar", "baz" => "qux"}
stm                         # => {"foo" => "bar"}

Adds the contents of other to this SplayTreeMap.

For Array-like structures, which return a single value to the block passed to #each, that value will be used for both the key and the value.

For Array-like structures, where each array element is a two value Tuple, the first value of the Tuple will be the key, and the second will be the value.

For Hash-like structures, which pass a key/value tuple into the #each, the key and value will be used for the key and value in the tree entry.

If a Tuple is passed into the #each that has more or fewer than 2 elements, the key for the tree entry will come from the first element in the Tuple, and the value will come from the last element in the Tuple.

a = [] of Int32
10.times {|x| a << x}
stm = SplayTreeMap(Int32, Int32).new({6 => 0, 11 => 0}).merge!(a)
stm[11] # => 0
stm[6]  # => 6

h = {} of Int32 => Int32
10.times {|x| h[x] = x**2}

stm[6] # => 36

stm = SplayTreeMap(Int32, Int32).new.merge!({ {4,16},{5},{7,49,343} })
stm[4] # => 16
stm[5] # => 5
stm[7] # => 343

Returns the smallest key in the tree.

Obtain a key without splaying. This is much faster than using #[] but the lack of a splay operation means that the accessed value will not move closer to the root of the tree, which bypasses the normal optimization behavior of Splay Trees.

A KeyError will be raised if the key can not be found in the tree.

This method takes a block that accepts key/value pairs from the tree. It will be called once for every key/value pair that is pruned from the tree. This could be used to log items that are eliminate from a cache, or to move eliminated items into a secondard cache, for example.

This will remove all of the leaves at the end of the tree branches. That is, every node that does not have any children. This will tend to remove the least used elements from the tree. This function is expensive, as implemented, as it must walk every node in the tree.

Sets the value of key to the given value.

If a value already exists for key, that (old) value is returned. Otherwise the given block is invoked with key and its value is returned.

stm = SplayTreeMap(Int32, String).new
stm.put(1, "one") { "didn't exist" } # => "didn't exist"
stm.put(1, "uno") { "didn't exist" } # => "one"
stm.put(2, "two") { |key| key.to_s } # => "2"

stm.reject { |k, v| k > "a" } # => {"a" => 100}
