KeyMap

KeyMap[f,key1val1,key2val2,…]

maps f over the keys in an association, giving f[key1]val1,f[key2]val2,….

KeyMap[f]

represents an operator form of KeyMap that can be applied to an expression.

Details

  • If any of the f[keyi] are identical, the values associated with later instances replace those associated with earlier ones. »
  • KeyMap[f][expr] is equivalent to KeyMap[f,expr].
  • Parallelize[KeyMap[f,key1val1,key2val2,…]] computes KeyMap[f,key1val1,key2val2,…] in parallel on all subkernels. »

Basic Examples  (2)

Map a function over the keys of an association:

Use the operator form of KeyMap:

Scope  (1)

In KeyMap[f,assoc], if applying f produces repeated keys, later instances replace earlier ones:

Properties & Relations  (4)

KeyMap[f,assoc] is equivalent to AssociationThread[Map[f,Keys[assoc]]Values[assoc]]:

KeyMap[f,assoc] gives an association with the same length as DeleteDuplicatesBy[Keys[assoc],f]:

KeyMap maps a function over the keys in an association:

Map maps a function over the values in an association:

KeyValueMap maps a function over the keys and values in an association (and returns a list):

AssociationMap maps a function over the rules in an association:

KeyMap can be parallelized automatically:
