| ANSI Common Lisp 18 Hash Tables 18.2 Dictionary of Hash Tables
18.2.4 hash-table-count | Function
  Syntax: hash-table-count hash-table count Arguments and Values: hash-table - a hash table. count - a non-negative integer. Description: 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`. Examples:
       (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
  Affected By: clrhash, remhash, setf of gethash See Also: hash-table-size Notes: 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)
Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
