Class AbstractCharKeyMap

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    CharKeyMap
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    CharKeyOpenHashMap

    public abstract class AbstractCharKeyMap
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements CharKeyMap
    This class represents an abstract base for implementing maps from char values to objects. All operations that can be implemented using iterators are implemented as such. In most cases, this is hardly an efficient solution, and at least some of those methods should be overridden by sub-classes.

    • Method Detail

      • clear

        public void clear()
        Description copied from interface: CharKeyMap
        Clears this map.
        Specified by:
        clear in interface CharKeyMap
      • remove

        public java.lang.Object remove​(char key)
        Description copied from interface: CharKeyMap
        Removes the mapping from a specified key from this map.
        Specified by:
        remove in interface CharKeyMap
        Parameters:
        key - the key whose mapping to remove from this map.
        Returns:
        the old value (which can be null) if a mapping from the specified key already existed in this map; returns null otherwise.
      • putAll

        public void putAll​(CharKeyMap map)
        Description copied from interface: CharKeyMap
        Adds all mappings from a specified map to this map. Any existing mappings whose keys collide with a new mapping is overwritten by the new mapping.
        Specified by:
        putAll in interface CharKeyMap
        Parameters:
        map - the map whose mappings to add to this map.
      • containsKey

        public boolean containsKey​(char key)
        Description copied from interface: CharKeyMap
        Indicates whether this map contains a mapping from a specified key.
        Specified by:
        containsKey in interface CharKeyMap
        Parameters:
        key - the key to test for.
        Returns:
        true if this map contains a mapping from the specified key; returns false otherwise.
      • get

        public java.lang.Object get​(char key)
        Description copied from interface: CharKeyMap
        Maps a specified key to a value.
        Specified by:
        get in interface CharKeyMap
        Parameters:
        key - the key to map to a value.
        Returns:
        the value that the specified key maps to; returns null, if no mapping exists for the specified key.
      • containsValue

        public boolean containsValue​(java.lang.Object value)
        Description copied from interface: CharKeyMap
        Indicates whether this map contains a mapping to a specified value.
        Specified by:
        containsValue in interface CharKeyMap
        Parameters:
        value - the value to test for.
        Returns:
        true if this map contains at least one mapping to the specified value; returns false otherwise.
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object obj)
        Description copied from interface: CharKeyMap
        Indicates whether this map is equal to some object.
        Specified by:
        equals in interface CharKeyMap
        Overrides:
        equals in class java.lang.Object
        Parameters:
        obj - the object with which to compare this map.
        Returns:
        true if this map is equal to the specified object; returns false otherwise.
      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Description copied from interface: CharKeyMap
        Returns a hash code value for this map.
        Specified by:
        hashCode in interface CharKeyMap
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        a hash code value for this map.
      • isEmpty

        public boolean isEmpty()
        Description copied from interface: CharKeyMap
        Indicates whether this map is empty.
        Specified by:
        isEmpty in interface CharKeyMap
        Returns:
        true if this map is empty; returns false otherwise.
      • size

        public int size()
        Description copied from interface: CharKeyMap
        Returns the size of this map. The size is defined as the number of mappings from keys to values.
        Specified by:
        size in interface CharKeyMap

        a string representation of this map.
      • trimToSize

        public void trimToSize()
        Does nothing. Sub-classes may provide an implementation to minimize memory usage, but this is not required since many implementations will always have minimal memory usage.
