lower_bound_lookup(+Map, ++SearchKey, ?Key, ?Value)

Search a map for the smallest key no smaller than SearchKey.
Map
A map
SearchKey
A key to search for
Key
The key found
Value
The value corresponding to Key

Description

This predicate searches the map Map for the entry with the smallest key which is no smaller than SearchKey. If such a key is found, then it attempts to unify it with Key and the corresponding value with Value. If such a key is not found, then it aborts with a runtime error.

This predicate should only be called with maps created by other predicates from the map module.

Fail Conditions

Fails if Key and Value do not unify with the key and value found.

Resatisfiable

no
