 Still not answering the question.

What question was that? If you mean replacing that original lot of code, I would just burn the lot.
It just would not exist in that form in any program of mine, but I would need to see the bigger picture.
But if that code really needed to exist, you wouldn't write that junk inline like that. At least wrap it in some function, with a name that gives a clue as to what it does.
Ensure that that map is defined only once, rather than have to reconstruct it each of the million times you end up performing this assignment.
You are basically asking what I would do about pile of shit in the middle of my living room. Move it to the bathroom at least!
