Class IntKeyIndexer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable

    public class IntKeyIndexer
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.io.Serializable
    This class converts arbitrary int keys into compacted int indexes suitable for use as indexes into an array or table. Whenever a new key is added, the smallest unused index is allocated and associated with that key. Basically hashes the keys into linked lists using the IntListIndexer class, where all values in a list have the same hashcode. Does most of the work in implementing a seperate chaining version of a hashtable - the only thing missing is the values which are stored in the individual implementations of the various hashtables.

      • IntKeyIndexer

        public IntKeyIndexer()
        Constructs an IntKeyIndexer with a default capacity.
      • IntKeyIndexer

        public IntKeyIndexer​(int capacity)
        Constructs an IntKeyIndexer with a given initial capacity.
        Parameters:
        capacity - the initial capacity.

      • put

        public int put​(int key)
        Returns an index that will always be associated to the given key as long as the key remains in the table. If the key already exists, then the index where that key is stored is returned. If the key is new, then a new index is allocated, the key is stored at that index, and the new index is returned.
        Parameters:
        key - the key to be stored.
        Returns:
        index for key, or -1 if there was no room to put the key.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - thrown if this object is at maximum capacity.
      • get

        public int get​(int key)
        Returns the index for the given key, or -1 if key is not in the table.
        Parameters:
        key - the key for which to find an index.
      • remove

        public int remove​(int key)
        Removes the key from the table.
        Parameters:
        key - the key to remove.
        Returns:
        index of the key if the key was found, -1 if key did not exist in the table
      • getSize

        public int getSize()
        Returns the number of keys stored in the table.
      • getCapacity
