Re: [Vala] Problem with Gee

Hi Didier,

Thanks for your response,
I'm learning programming, so don't hesitate to contact me in french, i 
must understand than english.

So, if i use "Map<string, int> map = new TreeMap<string,int> ();" 
instead of "var map = new HashMap<string, int> ();" the result is the same !

The only solution i found is using this (in genie):

list.add(value)
dict.set(value, "something")

for o in list
   type = dict[o]
   print "key is " + o
   print "value is " + type
