Associated Arrays?

-----------------------------------

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if it is possible to have associated arrays in Turing.

Thanks,
Andrew

Associated arrays meaning two arrays of the same length, holding various data corresponding to a series of objects? Yeah, of course.

But it's better to use type and record.

That's what I mean. Yeah, I've used both type and record before, but they don't seem as good as the associated arrays I've been reading about.

uhh... parallel arrays are an anti-pattern (that is, an example of something that you shouldn't be doing).
