What is the idiomatic way of a getOrElseUpdate for immutable.Map instances?. I use the snippet below, but it seems verbose and inefficient
var map = Map[Key, Value]()
def foo(key: Key) = {
val value = map.getOrElse(key, new Value)
map += key -> value
value
}
I would probably implement a getOrElseUpdated
method like this:
def getOrElseUpdated[K, V](m: Map[K, V], key: K, op: => V): (Map[K, V], V) =
m.get(key) match {
case Some(value) => (m, value)
case None => val newval = op; (m.updated(key, newval), newval)
}
which either returns the original map if m
has a mapping for key
or another map with the mapping key -> op
added. The definition of this method is similar to getOrElseUpdate
of mutable.Map
.
