public abstract class StringSwitcher
extends java.lang.Object

This class implements a simple String->int mapping for a fixed set of keys.

Nested Class Summary

static class
StringSwitcher.Generator

Method Summary

static StringSwitcher
create(String[] strings, int[] ints, boolean fixedInput)
Helper method to create a StringSwitcher.
abstract int
intValue(String s)
Return the integer associated with the given key.

Method Details

create

public static StringSwitcher create(String[] strings,
                                    int[] ints,
                                    boolean fixedInput)
Helper method to create a StringSwitcher. For finer control over the generated instance, use a new instance of StringSwitcher.Generator instead of this static method.
Parameters:
strings - the array of String keys; must be the same length as the value array
ints - the array of integer results; must be the same length as the key array
fixedInput - if false, an unknown key will be returned from intValue(String) as -1; if true, the result will be undefined, and the resulting code will be faster

intValue

public abstract int intValue(String s)
Return the integer associated with the given key.
Parameters:
s - the key
Returns:
the associated integer value, or -1 if the key is unknown (unless fixedInput was specified when this StringSwitcher was created, in which case the return value for an unknown key is undefined)
