public interface Object2CharMap<K> extends Object2CharFunction<K>, Map<K,Character>
A type-specific Map; provides some additional methods that use polymorphism to avoid (un)boxing, and handling of a default return value.

Besides extending the corresponding type-specific function, this interface strengthens Map.entrySet(), keySet() and values(). Moreover, a number of methods, such as size(), defaultReturnValue(), etc., are un-defaulted as their function default do not make sense for a map. Maps returning entry sets of type Object2CharMap.FastEntrySet support also fast iteration.

A submap or subset may or may not have an independent default return value (which however must be initialized to the default return value of the originator).

  • Method Details

    • size

      int size()
      Returns the number of key/value mappings in this map. If the map contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, returns Integer.MAX_VALUE.
      Specified by:
      size in interface Function<K,Character>
      Specified by:
      size in interface Map<K,Character>
      Returns:
      the number of key-value mappings in this map.
      See Also:
    • clear

      default void clear()
      Removes all of the mappings from this map (optional operation). The map will be empty after this call returns.
      Specified by:
      clear in interface Function<K,Character>
      Specified by:
      clear in interface Map<K,Character>
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - if the clear() operation is not supported by this map
      See Also:
    • defaultReturnValue

      void defaultReturnValue(char rv)
      Sets the default return value (optional operation). This value must be returned by type-specific versions of get(), put() and remove() to denote that the map does not contain the specified key. It must be 0/false by default.
      Specified by:
      defaultReturnValue in interface Object2CharFunction<K>
      Parameters:
      rv - the new default return value.
      See Also:
    • defaultReturnValue

      char defaultReturnValue()
      Gets the default return value.
      Specified by:
      defaultReturnValue in interface Object2CharFunction<K>
      Returns:
      the current default return value.
    • object2CharEntrySet

      ObjectSet<Object2CharMap.Entry<K>> object2CharEntrySet()
      Returns a type-specific set view of the mappings contained in this map.

      This method is necessary because there is no inheritance along type parameters: it is thus impossible to strengthen Map.entrySet() so that it returns an ObjectSet of type-specific entries (the latter makes it possible to access keys and values with type-specific methods).

      Returns:
      a type-specific set view of the mappings contained in this map.
      See Also:
    • entrySet

      @Deprecated default ObjectSet<Map.Entry<K,Character>> entrySet()

    • computeIfAbsent

      default char computeIfAbsent(K key, ToIntFunction<? super K> mappingFunction)
      If the specified key is not already associated with a value, attempts to compute its value using the given mapping function and enters it into this map.

      Note that contrarily to the default computeIfAbsent(), it is not possible to not add a value for a given key, since the mappingFunction cannot return null. If such a behavior is needed, please use the corresponding nullable version.

      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated.
      mappingFunction - the function to compute a value.
      Returns:
      the current (existing or computed) value associated with the specified key.
      Since:
      8.0.0
      See Also:
      API Notes:
      all computeIfAbsent() methods have a different logic based on the argument; no delegation is performed, contrarily to other superficially similar methods such as Iterator.forEachRemaining(java.util.function.Consumer<? super E>) or List.replaceAll(java.util.function.UnaryOperator<E>).
    • computeCharIfAbsent

      @Deprecated default char computeCharIfAbsent(K key, ToIntFunction<? super K> mappingFunction)
      Deprecated.
      Please use computeIfAbsent() instead.
    • computeIfAbsent

      default char computeIfAbsent(K key, Object2CharFunction<? super K> mappingFunction)
      If the specified key is not already associated with a value, attempts to compute its value using the given mapping function and enters it into this map, unless the key is not present in the given mapping function.

      This version of computeIfAbsent() uses a type-specific version of fastutil's Function. Since Function has a containsKey() method, it is possible to avoid adding a key by having containsKey() return false for that key.

      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated.
      mappingFunction - the function to compute a value.
      Returns:
      the current (existing or computed) value associated with the specified key.

    • computeCharIfPresent

      default char computeCharIfPresent(K key, BiFunction<? super K,? super Character,? extends Character> remappingFunction)
      If the value for the specified key is present, attempts to compute a new mapping given the key and its current mapped value.
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated.
      remappingFunction - the function to compute a value.
      Returns:
      the new value associated with the specified key, or the default return value if none.
      Since:
      8.0.0
      See Also:
      API Notes:
      The JDK specification for this method equates not being associated with a value with being associated with {code null}. This is not the case for this method.
    • computeChar

      default char computeChar(K key, BiFunction<? super K,? super Character,? extends Character> remappingFunction)
      Attempts to compute a mapping for the specified key and its current mapped value (or null if there is no current mapping).

      If the function returns null, the mapping is removed (or remains absent if initially absent). If the function itself throws an (unchecked) exception, the exception is rethrown, and the current mapping is left unchanged.

      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated.
      remappingFunction - the function to compute a value.
      Returns:
      the new value associated with the specified key, or the default return value if none.

      Returns:
      the new value associated with the specified key, or the default return value if no value is associated with the key.
      Since:
      8.0.0

      API Notes:
      The JDK specification for this method equates not being associated with a value with being associated with {code null}. This is not the case for this method.
    • mergeChar

      default char mergeChar(K key, char value, CharBinaryOperator remappingFunction)

      See Also:
      API Notes:
      The JDK specification for this method equates not being associated with a value with being associated with {code null}. This is not the case for this method. Moreover, this method cannot delete entries as the type-specific remapping function cannot return null.
    • mergeChar

      default char mergeChar(K key, char value, IntBinaryOperator remappingFunction)
      If the specified key is not already associated with a value, associates it with the given value. Otherwise, replaces the associated value with the results of the given remapping function.
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the resulting value is to be associated.
      value - the value to be merged with the existing value associated with the key or, if no existing value is associated with the key, to be associated with the key.

      Returns:
      the new value associated with the specified key.
      Since:

      API Notes:
      The JDK specification for this method equates not being associated with a value with being associated with {code null}. This is not the case for this method. Moreover, this method cannot delete entries as the type-specific remapping function cannot return null.
      Implementation Notes:
      Unless the argument is type-specific, this method will introduce an intermediary lambda to perform narrowing and widening casts. Please use the type-specific overload to avoid this overhead.
