Class booleandict

package com.ptc.cipjava; public class booleandict implements jxobject

Description

Dictionary of booleans.

A dictionary cannot contain duplicate keys, each key can map to at most one value. Dictionary provides methods for accessing a value by its key, for inserting and removing values as well as for iterating through the dictionary elements.

Method Summary
`boolean`	`contains (String key)`
`static booleandict`	`create ()` Creates a new empty dictionary.
`boolean`	`find (String key)` Finds an element with the specified key in the dictionary. If an element is found, returns `xtrue` and sets the value pointer to point to the found value, otherwise returns `xfalse`. If the value pointer is 0, this method only verifies if an element with the specified key exists in the dictionary without returning its value.
`boolean`	`getbyindex (int idx)` Gets the value of an element with the specified index from a dictionary. If an element is found, returns `yxtrue` and sets the value pointer to point to the found value, otherwise returns `xfalse`. If the value pointer is 0, this method only verifies if an element with the specified index exists in the dictionary without returning its value. Use this method together with methods `getmapsize` and `getkeybyindex` to iterate through the dictionary.
`int`	`getcount ()`
`String`	`getkeybyindex (int idx)` Gets the key of an element with the specified index from a dictionary. If an element is found, returns `xtrue` and sets the key pointer to point to the found string value, otherwise returns `xfalse`. If the key pointer is 0, this method only verifies if an element with the specified index exists in the dictionary without returning its key. Use this method together with methods `getmapsize` and `getbyindex` to iterate through the dictionary.
`int`	`getmapsize ()` Returns the dictionary size. This size can be greater than the current number of elements in the dictionary, in fact this is a size of the dictionary hashtable.
`void`	`remove (String key)` Removes an element with the specified key from a dictionary.
`void`	`removebyindex (int idx)` Removes an element with the specified index from a dictionary. If an element with this index does not exist in the dictionary, throws exception `cipXInvalidDictIndex`.
`void`	`set (String key, boolean value)` Assigns a new value to the dictionary element with the specified key, if such an element exists, otherwise adds a new element with the given key and value to the dictionary.
`void`	`setbyindex (int idx, boolean value)` Changes the value of a dictionary element with the specified index to the specified value. If an element with the specified index does not exist in the dictionary, throws exception `cipXInvalidDictIndex`.

Method Detail

getmapsize

int getmapsize ()

Returns the dictionary size. This size can be greater than the current number of elements in the dictionary, in fact this is a size of the dictionary hashtable.

Returns:: Size of the dictionary.

getcount

int getcount ()

Returns:

contains

boolean contains (String key)

Parameters:

key

Returns:

find

boolean find (String key)

Finds an element with the specified key in the dictionary. If an element is found, returns xtrue and sets the value pointer to point to the found value, otherwise returns xfalse. If the value pointer is 0, this method only verifies if an element with the specified key exists in the dictionary without returning its value.

Parameters:

key: Key to be found.

Returns:: Specifies if the value is found.

set

void set (String key, boolean value)

Assigns a new value to the dictionary element with the specified key, if such an element exists, otherwise adds a new element with the given key and value to the dictionary.

Parameters:

key: Key of an element.
value: New value of an element.

Returns:

setbyindex

void setbyindex (int idx, boolean value)

Changes the value of a dictionary element with the specified index to the specified value. If an element with the specified index does not exist in the dictionary, throws exception cipXInvalidDictIndex.

Parameters:

idx: Element index.
value: New element value.

Returns:

remove

void remove (String key)

Removes an element with the specified key from a dictionary.

Parameters:

key: Key of an element to remove.

Returns:

removebyindex

void removebyindex (int idx)

Removes an element with the specified index from a dictionary. If an element with this index does not exist in the dictionary, throws exception cipXInvalidDictIndex.

Parameters:

idx: Index of an element to remove.

Returns:

getbyindex

boolean getbyindex (int idx)

Gets the value of an element with the specified index from a dictionary. If an element is found, returns yxtrue and sets the value pointer to point to the found value, otherwise returns xfalse. If the value pointer is 0, this method only verifies if an element with the specified index exists in the dictionary without returning its value. Use this method together with methods getmapsize and getkeybyindex to iterate through the dictionary.

Parameters:

idx: Element index.

Returns:: Specifies if the index is found.

getkeybyindex

String getkeybyindex (int idx)

Gets the key of an element with the specified index from a dictionary. If an element is found, returns xtrue and sets the key pointer to point to the found string value, otherwise returns xfalse. If the key pointer is 0, this method only verifies if an element with the specified index exists in the dictionary without returning its key. Use this method together with methods getmapsize and getbyindex to iterate through the dictionary.

Parameters:

idx: Element index.

Returns:: Specifies if the index is found.

create

static booleandict create ()

Creates a new empty dictionary.

Returns:: Created dictionary.
