[plt-scheme] hash-has-key?
Hi, I was looking for a way to test whether or not a hash table has a
mapping for a given key. I was surprised not to find anything in the
docs, but thought of two ways to implement this:
(define (hash-has-key? hash key)
(let/cc return
(hash-ref hash key (lambda () (return #f)))
#t))
(define hash-has-key?
(let ((distinct-value (gensym)))
(lambda (hash key)
(not (eq? distinct-value (hash-ref hash key distinct-value))))))
Both of these seem like roundabout approaches, is there a built-in way
to do this? If not, is one of these better than the other?
