# Struct alloc::btree_map::VacantEntry 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub struct VacantEntry<'a, K: 'a, V: 'a> { /* fields omitted */ }

A view into a vacant entry in a `BTreeMap`. It is part of the `Entry` enum.

## Methods

### `impl<'a, K: Ord, V> VacantEntry<'a, K, V>`
[src]

#### `pub fn key(&self) -> &K`
1.10.0
[src]

Gets a reference to the key that would be used when inserting a value through the VacantEntry.

# Examples

    use std::collections::BTreeMap;

    let mut map: BTreeMap<&str, usize> = BTreeMap::new();
    assert_eq!(map.entry("poneyland").key(), &"poneyland");

#### `pub fn into_key(self) -> K`
1.12.0
[src]

Take ownership of the key.

# Examples

    use std::collections::BTreeMap;
    use std::collections::btree_map::Entry;

    let mut map: BTreeMap<&str, usize> = BTreeMap::new();

    if let Entry::Vacant(v) = map.entry("poneyland") {
        v.into_key();
    }

#### `pub fn insert(self, value: V) -> &'a mut V`
[src]

Sets the value of the entry with the `VacantEntry`'s key, and returns a mutable reference to it.

# Examples

    use std::collections::BTreeMap;

    let mut count: BTreeMap<&str, usize> = BTreeMap::new();

    // count the number of occurrences of letters in the vec
    for x in vec!["a","b","a","c","a","b"] {
        *count.entry(x).or_insert(0) += 1;
    }

    assert_eq!(count["a"], 3);

## Trait Implementations

### `impl<'a, K: 'a + Debug + Ord, V: 'a> Debug for VacantEntry<'a, K, V>`
1.12.0

#### `fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result`
[src]

Formats the value using the given formatter. Read more

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
