Is an associative array the same as the sparse array (TBV12)?
I think a sparse array was intended for creating space
on demand for modeling something like a RAM. Sounds
like associative array is the same thing.
One comment. When reading a RAM, it would we could provide
a mechanism other than run time error when an uninitialized
memory location is read. It looks like this could be handled
explicitly by the exists funtion. Would it be reasonable to
also implement a procedure or an attribute to specify a
default value (such as 'X')?
Cheers,
Jim
