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);
  }
