hash-table—a hash table.
count—a non-negative integer.
Returns the number of entries in the hash-table.
If hash-table has just been created
or newly cleared (see clrhash
)
the entry count is 0
.
(setq table (make-hash-table)) → #<HASH-TABLE EQL 0/120 32115135> (hash-table-count table) → 0 (setf (gethash 57 table) "fifty-seven") → "fifty-seven" (hash-table-count table) → 1 (dotimes (i 100) (setf (gethash i table) i)) → NIL (hash-table-count table) → 100

The following relationships are functionally correct, although in practice
using hash-table-count
is probably much faster:
(hash-table-count table) ≡ (loop for value being the hash-values of table count t) ≡ (let ((total 0)) (maphash #'(lambda (key value) (declare (ignore key value)) (incf total)) table) total)
