java.util
Class AbstractMap.SimpleEntry

java.lang.Object
  java.util.AbstractMap.SimpleEntry

All Implemented Interfaces:

Map.Entry

Enclosing class:

AbstractMap

static class AbstractMap.SimpleEntry

extends Object

implements Map.Entry

This should be made public as soon as possible. It greately simplifies the task of implementing Map.

Constructor Summary

AbstractMap.SimpleEntry(Map.Entry e)

AbstractMap.SimpleEntry(Object key, Object value)

Method Summary

private static boolean	eq(Object o1, Object o2)
boolean	equals(Object o) Compares the specified object with this entry for equality.
Object	getKey() Returns the key corresponding to this entry.
Object	getValue() Returns the value corresponding to this entry.
int	hashCode() Returns the hash code value for this map entry.

public AbstractMap.SimpleEntry(Map.Entry e)

Method Detail

getKey

public Object getKey()

Description copied from interface: Map.Entry

Returns the key corresponding to this entry.

Specified by:

getKey in interface Map.Entry

Returns:

the key corresponding to this entry.

getValue

public Object getValue()

Description copied from interface: Map.Entry

Returns the value corresponding to this entry. If the mapping has been removed from the backing map (by the iterator's remove operation), the results of this call are undefined.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Map.Entry

Returns:

the value corresponding to this entry.

setValue

public Object setValue(Object value)

Description copied from interface: Map.Entry

Replaces the value corresponding to this entry with the specified value (optional operation). (Writes through to the map.) The behavior of this call is undefined if the mapping has already been removed from the map (by the iterator's remove operation).

Specified by:

setValue in interface Map.Entry

Parameters:

value - new value to be stored in this entry.

Returns:

old value corresponding to the entry.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Description copied from interface: Map.Entry

Compares the specified object with this entry for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a map entry and the two entries represent the same mapping. More formally, two entries e1 and e2 represent the same mapping if

     (e1.getKey()==null ?
      e2.getKey()==null : e1.getKey().equals(e2.getKey()))  &&
     (e1.getValue()==null ?
      e2.getValue()==null : e1.getValue().equals(e2.getValue()))
 

This ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the Map.Entry interface.

Specified by:

equals in interface Map.Entry

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

Object.hashCode(), Hashtable

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from interface: Map.Entry

Returns the hash code value for this map entry. The hash code of a map entry e is defined to be:

     (e.getKey()==null   ? 0 : e.getKey().hashCode()) ^
     (e.getValue()==null ? 0 : e.getValue().hashCode())
 

This ensures that e1.equals(e2) implies that e1.hashCode()==e2.hashCode() for any two Entries e1 and e2, as required by the general contract of Object.hashCode.

Specified by:

hashCode in interface Map.Entry

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

Object.equals(java.lang.Object), Hashtable

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of the object.

eq

private static boolean eq(Object o1,
                          Object o2)
