Is there a convenience function for merging dictionaries? #18

Closed travis-leith closed 4 years ago

travis-leith commented 4 years ago

Maybe something like dict(dict1, dict2, dict3, ...)

Collisions can be handled by taking either the first or last value for the same key.

There is a update method for the dict objects. You may want to check it out.

Is it correct to say that my pseudo code above would be properly translated as the following?

dictMerged <- dict1
dictMerged$update(dict2)
dictMerged$update(dict3)

You could chain the operations together. d1$update(d2)$update(d3). However notice that d1 is modified in place.
