putIfAbsent method Null safety

V putIfAbsent (
  1. K key,
  2. V ifAbsent(
      )
    )
    override

    Look up the value of key, or add a new entry if it isn't there.

    Returns the value associated to key, if there is one. Otherwise calls ifAbsent to get a new value, associates key to that value, and then returns the new value.

    Map<String, int> scores = {'Bob': 36};
    for (var key in ['Bob', 'Rohan', 'Sophena']) {
      scores.putIfAbsent(key, () => key.length);
    }
    scores['Bob'];      // 36
    scores['Rohan'];    //  5
    scores['Sophena'];  //  7
    

    Calling ifAbsent must not add or remove keys from the map.

    Implementation

    V putIfAbsent(K key, V ifAbsent()) {
      if (key == null) throw ArgumentError(key);
      int comp = _splay(key);
      if (comp == 0) {
        return _root!.value;
      }
      int modificationCount = _modificationCount;
      int splayCount = _splayCount;
      V value = ifAbsent();
      if (modificationCount != _modificationCount) {
        throw ConcurrentModificationError(this);
      }
      if (splayCount != _splayCount) {
        comp = _splay(key);
        // Key is still not there, otherwise _modificationCount would be changed.
        assert(comp != 0);
      }
      _addNewRoot(_SplayTreeMapNode(key, value), comp);
      return value;
    }
