Interface Long2ShortMap.FastEntrySet

All Superinterfaces:
Collection<Long2ShortMap.Entry>, Iterable<Long2ShortMap.Entry>, ObjectCollection<Long2ShortMap.Entry>, ObjectIterable<Long2ShortMap.Entry>, ObjectSet<Long2ShortMap.Entry>, Set<Long2ShortMap.Entry>
All Known Subinterfaces:

Enclosing interface:
Long2ShortMap

public static interface Long2ShortMap.FastEntrySet
extends ObjectSet<Long2ShortMap.Entry>

An entry set providing fast iteration.

In some cases (e.g., hash-based classes) iteration over an entry set requires the creation of a large number of Long2ShortMap.Entry objects. Some fastutil maps might return entry set objects of type FastEntrySet: in this case, fastIterator() will return an iterator that is guaranteed not to create a large number of objects, possibly by returning always the same entry (of course, mutated).


Method Summary
 ObjectIterator<Long2ShortMap.Entry> fastIterator()
          Returns a fast iterator over this entry set; the iterator might return always the same entry object, suitably mutated.
