Hello Everybody,

Is there in Julia something similar to Matlab’s command `containers.Map(keyset, valueset)`?

Thank you very much

The standard Julia `Dict` container is like the Matlab map container. The `Dict` container is more general than Matlab’s map because it allows keys of arbitrary types.
