Method Detail

size

int size()

Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map.

Returns:

the number of key-value mappings in this map

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

Returns true if this map contains no key-value mappings.

Returns:

true if this map contains no key-value mappings

containsKey

boolean containsKey(int key)

Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.

Parameters:

key - key whose presence in this map is to be tested

Returns:

true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key

containsValue

boolean containsValue(V value)

Returns true if this map contains one or more mappings with the specified value.

Parameters:

value - value whose presence in this map is to be tested

Returns:

true this map contains one or more mappings with the specified value

get

V get(int key)

Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or throws NoSuchElementException if this map contains no mapping for the key.

Parameters:

key - the key whose associated value is to be returned

Returns:

the value to which the specified key is mapped

Throws:

NoSuchElementException - if the key is not contained in this map

put

V put(int key,
      V value)

Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map. If the map previously contained a mapping for the key, the old value is replaced by the specified value.

Parameters:

key - key with which the specified value is to be associated

value - value to be associated with the specified key

remove

V remove(int key)

Removes the mapping for a key from this map if it is present. No action is performed if this map does not contain the key.

Parameters:

key - key whose mapping is to be removed from the map

putAll

void putAll(MapIV<V> m)

Copies all of the mappings from the specified map to this map.

Parameters:

m - mappings to be stored in this map

clear

void clear()

Removes all of the mappings from this map. The map will be empty after this call returns.

keySet

Set<Integer> keySet()

Returns a Set view of the keys contained in this map. Note that this is a inefficient operation since it triggers autoboxing of the int keys, which is exactly what this implementation is trying to avoid. Unlike a standard Java Map, values in the backing map cannot be altered with this collection view.

Returns:

a set view of the keys contained in this map

values

Collection<V> values()

Returns a Collection view of the values contained in this map.

Returns:

a collection view of the values contained in this map

entrySet

Set<MapIV.Entry<V>> entrySet()

Returns a Set view of the mappings contained in this map. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa.

Returns:

a set view of the mappings contained in this map

equals

boolean equals(Object o)

Compares the specified object with this map for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a map and the two maps represent the same mappings. More formally, two maps m1 and m2 represent the same mappings if m1.entrySet().equals(m2.entrySet()). This ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the MapII interface.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - object to be compared for equality with this map

Returns:

true if the specified object is equal to this map

hashCode

int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this map. The hash code of a map is defined to be the sum of the hash codes of each entry in the map's entrySet() view. This ensures that m1.equals(m2) implies that m1.hashCode()==m2.hashCode() for any two maps m1 and m2, as required by the general contract of Object.hashCode().

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

the hash code value for this map
