How To Modify An Element in the Dictionary Class?
=======================================

C# has this cool Dictionary class that you can use like a Hash Table. Is there a way of changing the value of an indexed element without resorting to removing it like this?

Code:

               int value = runningcount[city];
               runningcount.Remove(city);
               runningcount.Add(city, ++value);

 

Can't you just do:

Code:

 runningcount[city] = ++runningcount[city] 

?

 

Just do this:

Code:

runningcount[city]++;

 

or even

Pre incrementing is faster in almost all cases
