public class ByteArraySet
extends AbstractByteSet
implements Serializable, Cloneable

A simple, brute-force implementation of a set based on a backing array.

The main purpose of this implementation is that of wrapping cleanly the brute-force approach to the storage of a very small number of items: just put them into an array and scan linearly to find an item.

Constructor Detail

ByteArraySet

public ByteArraySet(byte[] a)
Creates a new array set using the given backing array. The resulting set will have as many elements as the array.

It is responsibility of the caller that the elements of a are distinct.

Parameters:
a - the backing array.

ByteArraySet

public ByteArraySet()
Creates a new empty array set.


ByteArraySet

public ByteArraySet(int capacity)
Creates a new empty array set of given initial capacity.

Parameters:
capacity - the initial capacity.

ByteArraySet

public ByteArraySet(ByteCollection c)
Creates a new array set copying the contents of a given collection.

Parameters:
c - a collection.

ByteArraySet

public ByteArraySet(Collection<? extends Byte> c)
Creates a new array set copying the contents of a given set.

Parameters:
c - a collection.

ByteArraySet

public ByteArraySet(byte[] a,
                    int size)
Creates a new array set using the given backing array and the given number of elements of the array.

It is responsibility of the caller that the first size elements of a are distinct.

Parameters:
a - the backing array.
size - the number of valid elements in a.
Method Detail

iterator

public ByteIterator iterator()
Description copied from interface: ByteCollection
Returns a type-specific iterator on the elements of this collection.

Note that this specification strengthens the one given in Iterable.iterator(), which was already strengthened in the corresponding type-specific class, but was weakened by the fact that this interface extends Collection.

Specified by:
iterator in interface ByteCollection
Specified by:
iterator in interface ByteIterable
Specified by:
iterator in interface ByteSet
Specified by:
iterator in interface Iterable<Byte>
Specified by:
iterator in interface Collection<Byte>
Specified by:
iterator in interface Set<Byte>
Specified by:
iterator in class AbstractByteSet
Returns:
a type-specific iterator on the elements of this collection.

contains

public boolean contains(byte k)
Specified by:
contains in interface ByteCollection
Overrides:
contains in class AbstractByteCollection
See Also:
Collection.contains(Object)

size

public int size()
Specified by:
size in interface Collection<Byte>
Specified by:
size in interface Set<Byte>
Specified by:
size in class AbstractCollection<Byte>

remove

public boolean remove(byte k)
Description copied from interface: ByteSet
Removes an element from this set.

Note that the corresponding method of the type-specific collection is rem(). This unfortunate situation is caused by the clash with the similarly named index-based method in the List interface.

Specified by:
remove in interface ByteSet
Overrides:
remove in class AbstractByteSet
See Also:
Collection.remove(Object)

add

public boolean add(byte k)
Specified by:
add in interface ByteCollection
Overrides:
add in class AbstractByteCollection
See Also:
Collection.add(Object)

clear

public void clear()
Specified by:
clear in interface Collection<Byte>
Specified by:
clear in interface Set<Byte>
Overrides:
clear in class AbstractCollection<Byte>

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()
Specified by:
isEmpty in interface Collection<Byte>
Specified by:
isEmpty in interface Set<Byte>
Overrides:
isEmpty in class AbstractByteCollection

clone

public ByteArraySet clone()
Returns a deep copy of this set.

This method performs a deep copy of this hash set; the data stored in the set, however, is not cloned. Note that this makes a difference only for object keys.

Overrides:
clone in class Object
Returns:
a deep copy of this set.
