nounpl: unordered mappings
mapeamento não ordenado
1. In computer science, a data structure that associates keys with values without maintaining any particular order of the key-value pairs
In Python, a dictionary is an example of an unordered mapping where you can store and retrieve values using keys.
Em Python, um dicionário é um exemplo de mapeamento não ordenado onde você pode armazenar e recuperar valores usando chaves.
2. A hash table or similar structure that does not preserve insertion order or any sorted order of elements
The unordered mapping allows for fast lookups but does not guarantee the sequence in which elements will be iterated.
O mapeamento não ordenado permite buscas rápidas, mas não garante a sequência na qual os elementos serão iterados.
This is primarily technical jargon used in software development and computer science. It is language-agnostic terminology used equally across Brazil, Portugal, and the USA in programming contexts. The term reflects the global nature of computer science education and industry practices.
