public interface Int2ObjectFunction<V> extends Function<Integer,V>
Function
; provides some additional methods that use polymorphism to avoid (un)boxing.
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
).
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).
