|  | ANSI Common Lisp  18 Hash Tables  18.2 Dictionary of Hash Tables 
 
 Syntax:
maphash
function hash-table
   nil 
 
Arguments and Values:
function - a designator for a function of two arguments,
		     the key and the value.
hash-table - a hash table.
 
Description:
Iterates over all entries in the hash-table.  For each entry,
the function is called with two arguments--the key 
and the value of that entry.
The consequences are unspecified if any attempt is made to add or remove
an entry from the hash-table while a maphash is in progress,
with two exceptions:
   the function can use can use setf of gethash
   to change the value part of the entry currently being processed, 
or it can use remhash to remove that entry.
 
Examples:
 (setq table (make-hash-table))  #<HASH-TABLE EQL 0/120 32304110>
 (dotimes (i 10) (setf (gethash i table) i))  NIL
 (let ((sum-of-squares 0))
    (maphash #'(lambda (key val) 
                 (let ((square (* val val)))
                   (incf sum-of-squares square)
                   (setf (gethash key table) square)))
             table)
    sum-of-squares)  285
 (hash-table-count table)  10
 (maphash #'(lambda (key val)
               (when (oddp val) (remhash key table)))
           table)  NIL
 (hash-table-count table)  5
 (maphash #'(lambda (k v) (print (list k v))) table)
(0 0) 
(8 64) 
(2 4) 
(6 36) 
(4 16)  NIL 
Side Effects:
None, other than any which might be done by the function.
