### Description

public Ds\Map::__construct(mixed `...$values`)

Creates a new instance, using either a traversable object or an array for the initial `values`.

### Parameters

  A traversable object or an array to use for the initial values.

### Examples

Example #1 Ds\Map::__construct() example

`<?php
$map = new \Ds\Map();
var_dump($map);
$map = new \Ds\Map(["a" => 1, "b" => 2, "c" => 3]);
var_dump($map);
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    object(Ds\Map)#1 (0) {
    }
    object(Ds\Map)#2 (3) {
      [0]=>
      object(Ds\Pair)#1 (2) {
        ["key"]=>
        string(1) "a"
        ["value"]=>
        int(1)
      }
      [1]=>
      object(Ds\Pair)#3 (2) {
        ["key"]=>
        string(1) "b"
        ["value"]=>
        int(2)
      }
      [2]=>
      object(Ds\Pair)#4 (2) {
        ["key"]=>
        string(1) "c"
        ["value"]=>
        int(3)
      }
    }
