cary = Associative Array({
{"high schools",{"Cary", "Green Hope", "Panther Creek"}},
{"population", 116244},
{"state", "NC"},
{"weather", "sunny"}
});
newcary = Associative Array({
{"high schools", {"Cary", "Green Hope", "Panther Creek"}},
{"population", 116244},
{"state", "NC"},
{"time zone", "Eastern"},
{"weather", "sunny"}
});
Insert Into(cary, "county", "Wake");
show(cary);
cary = Associative Array({
{"county", "Wake"},
{"high schools", {"Cary", "Green Hope", "Panther Creek"}},
{"population", 116244},
{"state", "NC"},
{"weather", "sunny"}
});
Note that aa 116244, "state" => "NC",
"weather" => "sunny"];
Remove From(cary, "weather");
show(cary);
cary = Associative Array({
{"county", "Wake"},
{"high schools", {"Cary", "Green Hope", "Panther Creek"}},
{"population", 116244},
