modify dictionary value

How do I modify the value of a dictionary object?

I have something like

Dictionary<stri ng, AQ = ...

Where A is a struct.

I want to change some values in A but

Q["somestr"].x = 1;

doesn't work because it makes them read only.

If I do something like

A a = Q["somestr"];

a.x = 1;

then of course it doesn't update the value in the dictionary.

The only way I know to do it is remove the key and then re-add it with the
new value... but surely there is a better way?

Is there a way in python to add the items of a dictionary to the local function scope? i.e. var_foo = dict. I don't know how many items are in this dictionary, or what they are until runtime. exec statements are difficult for debuggers to deal with, so as a workaround I built my code into a function and saved it in a .py file. The I load the .py file as a module and call the function instead. This works great, and it has the added...

Hi folks, I have a Dictionary which contains a string key and an object value. I want the object value to point to a property in my class and I want it to be by reference, so that later on I can change the value of the property through the dictionary. I am having difficulty making the value be by reference. Is this possible? I've even tried unsuccessfully to use unsafe code with pointers.

Hi all, I'm trying to do something that should be really easy, but I can't think of an obvious way to do it.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.
