I want to make a dictionary(Python) in assembly code.

For example, a game has three characters with the names of: David, Michael and Jane. I want to save a unique value for each of the three characters. In Python, I can use a dictionary like the following, by using the names as the keys:

If you can find appropriate library functions for it, use those. Otherwise, you'll have to make your own way of doing it.

You could have an array or a linked list to store all the data. The array would probably need to store a pointer to some structure containing information on the element (e.g. key, value, and the types of both). The linked list would need to contain the same information.

To add or assign a key/value pair, see if the element already exists using msvcrt.strcmp (or build your own strcmp). If the key doesn't exist, create it, and assign the value to that key. It's assumed you're passing the information to the subroutine either directly as arguments or through a pointer to some other structure.

To look up a key, look through the dictionary and test to see if the key types match up ("1" is different from 1). If they do, check to see if the keys match. If they do, then return that value. If they don't match up, then move onto the next element in the dictionary. Continue until you either find it or run out of elements.
