public interface Float2BooleanMap
extends Map

A type-specific Map; provides some additional methods that use polymorphism to reduce type juggling, and handling of a default return value.

Type-specific versions of get(), put() and remove() cannot rely on null to denote absence of a key. Rather, they return a default return value, which is set to 0 cast to the return type (false for booleans) at creation, but can be changed using the defaultReturnValue() method.

For uniformity reasons, even maps returning objects implement the default return value (of course, in this case the default return value is initialized to null). This very useful for maps containing null keys.

A submap or subset may or may not have an independent default return value (which however must be initialized to the default return value of the originator).

Warning: to fall in line as much as possible with the standard map interface, it is strongly suggested that standard versions of get(), put() and remove() for maps with primitive-type values return null to denote missing keys rather than wrap the default return value in an object (of course, for maps with object keys and values this is not possible, as there is no type-specific version).

Method Detail

put

public boolean put(float key,
                   boolean value)
Adds a pair to the map.

Parameters:
key - the key.
value - the value.
Returns:
the old value, or the default return value if no value was present for the given key.
See Also:
Map.put(Object,Object)

get

public boolean get(float key)
Returns the value to which the given key is mapped.

Parameters:
key - the key.
Returns:
the corresponding value, or the default return value if no value was present for the given key.
See Also:
Map.get(Object)

remove

public boolean remove(float key)
Removes the mapping with the given key.

Parameters:
key -
Returns:
the old value, or the default return value if no value was present for the given key.
See Also:
Map.remove(Object)

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(float key)
See Also:
Map.containsKey(Object)

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(boolean value)
See Also:
Map.containsValue(Object)

setDefRetValue

public void setDefRetValue(boolean rv)
Deprecated. As of fastutil 2.0, replaced by defaultReturnValue().

Parameters:
rv - the new default return value.
See Also:
getDefRetValue(), defaultReturnValue()

getDefRetValue

public boolean getDefRetValue()
Deprecated. As of fastutil 2.0, replaced by defaultReturnValue().

Returns:
the current default return value.
See Also:
defaultReturnValue()

defaultReturnValue

public void defaultReturnValue(boolean rv)
Sets the default return value. This value must be returned by type-specific versions of get(), put() and remove() to denote that the map does not contain the specified key. It must be 0/false/null by default.

Parameters:
rv - the new default return value.
See Also:
defaultReturnValue()

defaultReturnValue

public boolean defaultReturnValue()
Gets the default return value.

Returns:
the current default return value.
