RE: New Beeee question: To dictionary or not dictionary, that is thequestion.

Dictionaries are used for fast lookups.  You don't have to loop dictionaries
to check if an entry exists.  I use them if I know that I'm going to have a
large number of entries that will need to be searched.

Basically, you're code is saying "Does this exist in the dictionary?" and
you get an answer.  With an array, you're saying "Are you what I'm looking
for?" over and over again until (potentially) all of the elements have been
checked, one by one.
