  20. I am brand new to Icon (Just got the book this week) and I have been
  21. experimenting
  22. with some code to test my understanding.  While the following is not in any 
  23. doucumentation I have found, it works.  I defined a record and created a table
  24. of
  25. records with  the following code:
  26.  
  27. record node(value,lchild,rchild)
  28.  
  29. procedure main(arg)
  30.  
  31.    tree:=table()
  32.    tree[1]:=node(2,3,"Hello")
  33.    tree[2]:=node(5,6,"World")
  34.    tree[3]:=node(0,1,"Oops")
  35.  
  36.    every i:=key(tree)do
  37.     write(i,":",tree[i].rchild)
  38.  
  39. end
  40.  
  41. While the order of the keys in unpredictable, the code can store a table of
  42. records.
  43. Is this a feature or something that should be avoided?
