Class pmr.euclid.StringSet 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----pmr.euclid.StringSet
public class StringSet
extends Object
Stores a unique set of Strings. By default this is case-sensitive, but the user can set this to insensitive. The actual value stored is case-sensitive. Also keeps a score of the indexNumber of each element, and can thus be used for keying Vectors.

Variable Index

o IGNORE_CASE

Constructor Index

o StringSet()
default contsructor is case-sensitive
o StringSet(int)
set case insensitivity if 'ignore' arg is 'StringSet.IGNORE_CASE'
o StringSet(String[])
create a StringSet from the Strings (duplicates are ignored); case-sensitive

Method Index

o addElement(String)
adds an element.
o addSet(StringSet)
catenates one set onto another.
o contains(String)
does Set contain String? (according to case-sensitivity
o debug()
o elementAt(int)
return (case-sensitive) element
o getElements()
return all members (case sensitive by default)
o getIgnoreCase()
state of case-sensitivity
o indexOf(String)
index of a given String (default is case-sensitive); -1 if not found
o indexSortAscending()
o indexSortDescending()
sort elem into descending order via indexes; elem NOT MODIFIED
o main(String[])
o reverse()
MODIFIES StringSet to be in reverse order
o size()
o sortAscending()
MODIFIES StringSet to be in ascending order
o sortDescending()
MODIFIES StringSet to be in descending order
o toString()
outputs the components as a list separated by "\n" - bad luck if they already contain this!

Variables

o IGNORE_CASE 
  public final static int IGNORE_CASE

Constructors

o StringSet 
  public StringSet()
default contsructor is case-sensitive
o StringSet 
  public StringSet(int ignore)
set case insensitivity if 'ignore' arg is 'StringSet.IGNORE_CASE'
o StringSet 
  public StringSet(String strings[])

o contains 
  public boolean contains(String value)

o elementAt 
  public String elementAt(int i)
return (case-sensitive) element
o addSet 
  public void addSet(StringSet is) throws StringSetException
catenates one set onto another. Fails if Sets differ in case-sensitivity.
Throws: StringSetException
mixed case is not allowed
o debug 
  public void debug()
o toString 
  public String toString()
outputs the components as a list separated by "\n" - bad luck if they already contain this!
