Ds\Map::remove
(PECL ds >= 1.0.0)
Ds\Map::remove — Removes and returns a value by key
Description
Removes and returns a value by key, or return an optional default value if the key could not be found.
Note:
Keys of type object are supported. If an object implements Ds\Hashable, equality will be determined by the object's
equals
function. If an object does not implement Ds\Hashable, objects must be references to the same instance to be considered equal.
Note:
You can also use array syntax to access values by key, eg.
$map["key"]
.
Be careful when using array syntax. Scalar keys will be coerced to
integers by the engine. For example, $map["1"]
will attempt
to access int(1)
, while $map->get("1")
will
correctly look up the string key.
See Arrays.
Parameters
-
key
-
The key to remove.
-
default
-
The optional default value, returned if the key could not be found.
Return Values
The value that was removed, or the default
value if provided and the key
could not be found in the map.
Errors/Exceptions
OutOfBoundsException if the key could not be found and a default value was not provided.
Examples
Example #1 Ds\Map::remove() example
<?php
$map = new \Ds\Map(["a" => 1, "b" => 2, "c" => 3]);
var_dump($map->remove("a")); // 1
var_dump($map->remove("e", 10)); // 10 (default used)
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
int(1) int(10)
