Interface ShortKeyByteMap

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractShortKeyByteMap, MapToShortKeyByteMapAdapter, ShortKeyByteChainedHashMap, ShortKeyByteOpenHashMap

public interface ShortKeyByteMap

This interface represents maps from short values to byte values. It is not possible to obtain a set of entries from primitive collections maps. Instead, an iterator over entries can be obtained. This removes a number of implementation constraints imposed by having to implement an entry interface.

Since:

1.0

Method Detail

clear

public void clear()

Clears this map.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the operation is not supported by this map.

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(short key)

Indicates whether this map contains a mapping from a specified key. If the key is contained in this map, a succeeding call to lget() will return the corresponding value.

Parameters:

key - the key to test for.

Returns:

true if this map contains a mapping from the specified key; returns false otherwise.

See Also:

lget()

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(byte value)

Indicates whether this map contains a mapping to a specified value.

Parameters:

value - the value to test for.

Returns:

true if this map contains at least one mapping to the specified value; returns false otherwise.

entries

public ShortKeyByteMapIterator entries()

Returns an iterator over the entries of this map. It is possible to remove entries from this map using the iterator provided that the concrete map supports removal of entries.

Returns:

an iterator over the entries of this map.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Indicates whether this map is equal to some 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.

get

public byte get(short key)

Maps a specified key to a value. Returns a default value as specified by the MapDefaults class if no mapping exists for the specified key.

Parameters:

key - the key to map to a value.

Returns:

the value that the specified key maps to, or a default value, if no such mapping exists.

See Also:

MapDefaults, tget(short), lget()

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for this map.

Returns:

a hash code value for this map.

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Indicates whether this map is empty.

Returns:

true if this map is empty; returns false otherwise.

keySet

public ShortSet keySet()

Returns a set view of the keys of this map. Removals from the returned set removes the corresponding entries in this map. Changes to the map are reflected in the set.

Returns:

a set view of the keys of this map.

lget

public byte lget()

Returns the last value corresponding to a positive result from containsKey(short). This is useful for checking checking the existence of a mapping while avoiding two lookups on the same key.

Returns:

the value corresponding to the key from the last invokation of containsKey(short).

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if containsKey(short) has not been called or the last call resulted in a return value of false.

See Also:

get(short), tget(short), containsKey(short)

put

public byte put(short key,
                byte value)

Adds a mapping from a specified key to a specified value to this map. If a mapping already exists for the specified key it is overwritten by the new mapping.

Parameters:

key - the key of the mapping to add to this map.

value - the value of the mapping to add to this map.

Returns:

the old value if a mapping from the specified key already existed in this map; otherwise returns a default value as specified by the MapDefaults class.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the operation is not supported by this map.

See Also:

MapDefaults

putAll

public void putAll(ShortKeyByteMap map)

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.

Parameters:

map - the map whose mappings to add to this map.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if map is null.

UnsupportedOperationException - if the operation is not supported by this map.

remove

public byte remove(short key)

Removes the mapping from a specified key from this map.

Parameters:

key - the key whose mapping to remove from this map.

Returns:

the old value if a mapping from the specified key already existed in this map; otherwise returns a default value as specified by the MapDefaults class.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the operation is not supported by this map.

See Also:

MapDefaults

size

public int size()

Returns the size of this map. The size is defined as the number of mappings from keys to values.

Returns:

the size of this map.

tget

public byte tget(short key)

Maps a specified key to a value. This method should be used when the key is known to be in the map.

Parameters:

key - the key to map to a value.

Returns:

the value that the specified key maps to.

Throws:

NoSuchMappingException - if the specified key does not map to any value.

See Also:

get(short), lget()

trimToSize

public void trimToSize()

Minimizes the memory used by this map. The exact operation of this method depends on the class implementing it. Implementors may choose to ignore it completely.

values

public ByteCollection values()

Returns a collection view of the values in this map. The collection is not modifiable, but changes to the map are reflected in the collection.

Returns:

a collection view of the values in this map.
