# Struct alloc::collections::btree_map::VacantEntry 1.0.0[−][src]

    pub struct VacantEntry<'a, K: 'a, V: 'a> { /* fields omitted */ }

A view into a vacant entry in a `BTreeMap`. It is part of the `Entry` enum.

## Methods

###

`impl<'a, K: Ord, V> VacantEntry<'a, K, V>`

[src]

####

`pub fn key(&self) -> &K`

1.10.0
[src]

Gets a reference to the key that would be used when inserting a value through the VacantEntry.

# Examples

    use std::collections::BTreeMap;

    let mut map: BTreeMap<&str, usize> = BTreeMap::new();
    assert_eq!(map.entry("poneyland").key(), &"poneyland");

####

`pub fn into_key(self) -> K`

1.12.0
[src]

Take ownership of the key.

# Examples

    use std::collections::BTreeMap;
    use std::collections::btree_map::Entry;

    let mut map: BTreeMap<&str, usize> = BTreeMap::new();

    if let Entry::Vacant(v) = map.entry("poneyland") {
        v.into_key();
    }

####

`pub fn insert(self, value: V) -> &'a mut V`

[src]

Sets the value of the entry with the `VacantEntry`'s key, and returns a mutable reference to it.

# Examples

    use std::collections::BTreeMap;

    let mut count: BTreeMap<&str, usize> = BTreeMap::new();

    // count the number of occurrences of letters in the vec
    for x in vec!["a","b","a","c","a","b"] {
        *count.entry(x).or_insert(0) += 1;
    }

    assert_eq!(count["a"], 3);

## Trait Implementations

[src]

Formats the value using the given formatter. Read more

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
