error in language reference

mxloizix

I think I have found an error in the language reference
https://processing.org/reference/IntDict_add_.html

IntDict inventory;   
 void setup() {
      size(200, 200);
      inventory = new IntDict();
      inventory.set("cd",84);
      inventory.set("tapes",15);
      inventory.set("records",102);
      println(inventory);  // There are 84 cds
      inventory.add("cds", 20);
      println(inventory);  // There are 104 cds
    }

the add method add an element in the dictionnarie whereas the example said it sum the value to the existing key ...

The keys are different. One is cds the other is cd.

Method add()'s description's correct. It's the code itself which's wrong! :O)
Change inventory.add("cds", 20); to inventory.add("cd", 20);.
Otherwise, method add() behaves like set() when specified key entry doesn't exist yet! :-@
Unfortunately, Processing's reference got many errors & important omissions! X(

oh yes, you have already told me that "Processing's reference got many errors "
