Interface IPairedCollection<T1,T2>

Type Parameters:

T1 - - object to be used as a key in PairedCollection

T2 - - object to be used as a value in PairedCollection

All Superinterfaces:

ICollectionIterable<T2>, java.lang.Iterable<T2>

All Known Implementing Classes:

PairedCollection

public interface IPairedCollection<T1,T2>
extends ICollectionIterable<T2>

This interface is a parameterized interface which specifies the contract for the PairedCollection. This template is generic so that any key value pairs can be used. The only condition for the object to be used as a key is to override hashCode() method to provide value based hashCode generation so that all the objects containing same values should generate same hashCode.

Method Detail

get

T2 get(T1 objT1)

Return the object of type specified at the time of instantiation of this library.

Parameters:

objT1 - object specifying the key of PairedCollection

Returns:

objT2 - object specifying the value corresponding to the key in the specified collection

put

void put(T1 objT1,
       T2 objT2)

Added key and value in the paired collection

Parameters:

objT1 - object specifying the key of PairedCollection

objT2 - object specifying the value corresponding to the key in the specified collection

contains

boolean contains(T1 objT1)

Check whether the specified key is present in the collection

Parameters:

objT1 - object specifying the key of PairedCollection

Returns:

true if key is present

remove

T2 remove(T1 objT1)

The implementation of this method removes the values associated with the given key.

Parameters:

objT1 - key whose mapping value is removed.

Returns:

- previous value associated with the key or null if no mapping for this key is found.

size

int size()

The implementation of this method retrieves the size of the collection.

Returns:

size - returns the number of elements present in the collection

getKeys

java.lang.Object[] getKeys()

The implementation of this method gets all the keys in the collection.

Returns:

Object[] - array of keys in the collection.
