All Implemented Interfaces:

Persistable

public class IntIntHashtable
extends Object
implements Persistable

This class implements a hashtable, which maps keys to values.

Any value can be used as a key.

A hashtable has two parameters that affect its efficiency: its capacity and its load factor. The load factor should be between 0.0 and 1.0. When the number of entries in the hashtable exceeds the product of the load factor and the current capacity, the capacity is increased by invoking IntIntHashtable.rehash(). Larger load factors use memory more efficiently, at the expense of larger expected time per lookup.

If many entries are to be made into a hashtable, creating it with a sufficiently large capacity may allow the entries to be inserted more efficiently than letting it perform automatic rehashing as needed to grow the table.

Constructor Summary

IntIntHashtable()
Construct a new, empty hashtable with a default capacity and load factor.

IntIntHashtable(int initialCapacity)
Construct a new, empty hashtable with the specified capacity.

Method Summary
void	clear() Flush this hashtable.
boolean	contains(int value) Determines if some key maps into the specified value in this hashtable.
boolean	containsKey(int key) Determines if the argument specified is a key in this hashtable.
IntEnumeration	elements() Retrieves an enumeration of the values in this hashtable.
int	get(int key) Retrieves value by key.
boolean	isEmpty() Determines if this hashtable maps no keys to values.
IntEnumeration	keys() Retrieves an enumeration of the keys in this hashtable.
int	keysToArray(int[] array) Extract keys into an array.
int	put(int key, int value) Maps value to key in this hashtable.
protected void	rehash() Rehashes the contents of this hashtable.
int	remove(int key) Removes value by key.
int	size() Retrieves the number of keys in this hashtable.

Constructor Detail

IntIntHashtable

public IntIntHashtable(int initialCapacity)

Construct a new, empty hashtable with the specified capacity.

Parameters:

initialCapacity - Initial capacity of the hashtable.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the initial capacity is less than zero

IntIntHashtable

public IntIntHashtable()

Construct a new, empty hashtable with a default capacity and load factor.

Method Detail

size

public int size()

Retrieves the number of keys in this hashtable.

Returns:

Number of keys in this hashtable.

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Determines if this hashtable maps no keys to values.

Returns:

True if this hashtable has no keys mapped to values; otherwise, false.

keys

public IntEnumeration keys()

Retrieves an enumeration of the keys in this hashtable.

Returns:

Enumeration of keys in this hashtable.

See Also:

Enumeration, IntIntHashtable.elements()

elements

public IntEnumeration elements()

Retrieves an enumeration of the values in this hashtable.

Use the Enumeration methods on the returned object to fetch the elements sequentially.

Returns:

Enumeration of the values in this hashtable.

See Also:

Enumeration, IntIntHashtable.keys()

contains

public boolean contains(int value)

Determines if some key maps into the specified value in this hashtable.

This operation is more expensive than IntIntHashtable.containsKey(int).

Parameters:

value - Value to search for.

Returns:

True if some key maps to the provided value in this hashtable; otherwise, false.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If null value provided.

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(int key)

Determines if the argument specified is a key in this hashtable.

Parameters:

key - Key to test.

Returns:

True if the provided argument is a key in this hashtable; otherwise, false.

See Also:

IntIntHashtable.contains(int)

clear

public void clear()

Flush this hashtable.

Invoke this method to remove all keys and values from this hashtable.

remove

public int remove(int key)

Removes value by key.

If the key does not exist in this hashtable, then this method does nothing.

Parameters:

key - Key for value to remove.

Returns:

Value that had been associated with key, or -1 if no value had been associated with key.

get

public int get(int key)

Retrieves value by key.

Parameters:

key - Key in this hashtable.

Returns:

Value associated with provided key, or -1 if no value associated with the key.

rehash

protected void rehash()

Rehashes the contents of this hashtable.

Invoke this method to rehash this hashtable into one with a larger capacity. This hashtable invokes this method automatically when the number of keys exceeds its capacity and load factor.

put

public int put(int key,
               int value)

Maps value to key in this hashtable.

The value can be retrieved by invoking IntIntHashtable.get(int) with a key that is equal to the original key.

Parameters:

key - Key to associate with the value.

value - Value to put into table.

Returns:

Previous value associated with key, or -1 if key had no previous associated value.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If null key or null value.

keysToArray

public int keysToArray(int[] array)

Extract keys into an array.

Parameters:

array - Array to contain the keys; the array must be large enough to contain all the keys.

Returns:

Number of keys actually extracted.

Throws:

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - If the array isn't big enough.
