Dictionary.ByKeysValues


Dictionaries are an incredibly powerful tool for making associative sets between two equal length lists. The first is a list of keys (or indexes) and the second – a set of values (or the data that will be returned for each index).

Inputs:

  • keys: it must consist of unique strings or numbers.
  • values: a value that will be returned for each key.
  • search keys: the list of keys(indexes) that you want returned.
