StringDict

A simple class to use a String as a lookup for a String value. String "keys" are associated with String values.

• StringDict inventory;
  
  void setup() {
   size(200, 200);
   inventory = new StringDict();
   inventory.set("coffee","black");
   inventory.set("flour","white");
   inventory.set("tea","green");
   println(inventory);
   noLoop();
   fill(0);
   textAlign(CENTER);
  }
  
  void draw() {
   String s = inventory.get("tea");
   text(s, width/2, height/2);
  }
