# map

map in a complete program.

Last updated: 2026-09-09

Package: runtime | Status: experimental

Tags: compute, cpu, gpu, language, yeho

CPU and GPU data processing with explicit ownership and completion.

```yh
map
```


## Lookup table

Use a map for lookup by identity or name when sequential scanning would hide the intent.

Verification: type checked

```yh
map of text to int power = ["sun" to 100, "moon" to 70]
int sunPower = power["sun"]

if power.Contains("moon")
{
    Console.Log(Text.From(power["moon"]))
}

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.word__map"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/word--map/complete-0 --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```
