  +--jumbo.euclid.StringSet

public class StringSet

extends java.lang.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.

Field Summary

static int

IGNORE_CASE

Constructor Summary

StringSet()
default contsructor is case-sensitive

StringSet(int ignore)
set case insensitivity if 'ignore' arg is 'StringSet.IGNORE_CASE'

StringSet(java.lang.String[] strings)
create a StringSet from the Strings (duplicates are ignored); case-sensitive

Method Summary

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

public static final int IGNORE_CASE

Constructor Detail

StringSet

public StringSet()

default contsructor is case-sensitive

StringSet

public StringSet(int ignore)

set case insensitivity if 'ignore' arg is 'StringSet.IGNORE_CASE'

StringSet

public StringSet(java.lang.String[] strings)

create a StringSet from the Strings (duplicates are ignored); case-sensitive

Method Detail

contract

public void contract()

contract buffer to exact number of elements

getElements

public java.lang.String[] getElements()

return all members (case sensitive by default)

size

public int size()

getIgnoreCase

public boolean getIgnoreCase()

state of case-sensitivity

addElement

public void addElement(java.lang.String value)

adds an element. If String is already present, does nothing

contains

public boolean contains(java.lang.String value)

does Set contain String? (according to case-sensitivity

indexOf

public int indexOf(java.lang.String value)

index of a given String (default is case-sensitive); -1 if not found

elementAt

public java.lang.String elementAt(int i)

return (case-sensitive) element

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

debug

public void debug()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

outputs the components as a list separated by "\n" - bad luck if they already contain this!

Overrides:

indexSortAscending

public IntSet indexSortAscending()

indexSortDescending

public IntSet indexSortDescending()

sort elem into descending order via indexes; elem NOT MODIFIED

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
