Class EnumMap<K extends Enum<K>,V>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, Map<K,V> 

    public class EnumMap<K extends Enum<K>,V>
extends AbstractMap<K,V>
implements Serializable, Cloneable
    A specialized Map implementation for use with enum type keys. All of the keys in an enum map must come from a single enum type that is specified, explicitly or implicitly, when the map is created. Enum maps are represented internally as arrays. This representation is extremely compact and efficient.

    Enum maps are maintained in the natural order of their keys (the order in which the enum constants are declared). This is reflected in the iterators returned by the collections views (keySet(), entrySet(), and values()).

    Iterators returned by the collection views are weakly consistent: they will never throw ConcurrentModificationException and they may or may not show the effects of any modifications to the map that occur while the iteration is in progress.

    Null keys are not permitted. Attempts to insert a null key will throw NullPointerException. Attempts to test for the presence of a null key or to remove one will, however, function properly. Null values are permitted.

    Like most collection implementations EnumMap is not synchronized. If multiple threads access an enum map concurrently, and at least one of the threads modifies the map, it should be synchronized externally. This is typically accomplished by synchronizing on some object that naturally encapsulates the enum map. If no such object exists, the map should be "wrapped" using the Collections.synchronizedMap(java.util.Map<K, V>) method. This is best done at creation time, to prevent accidental unsynchronized access: 

         Map<EnumKey, V> m
         = Collections.synchronizedMap(new EnumMap<EnumKey, V>(...));

    Implementation note: All basic operations execute in constant time. They are likely (though not guaranteed) to be faster than their HashMap counterparts.

    This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

    • Constructor Detail

      • EnumMap

        public EnumMap(Class<K> keyType)
        Creates an empty enum map with the specified key type.
        Parameters:
        keyType - the class object of the key type for this enum map
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if keyType is null

      • EnumMap

        public EnumMap(EnumMap<K,? extends V> m)
        Creates an enum map with the same key type as the specified enum map, initially containing the same mappings (if any).
        Parameters:
        m - the enum map from which to initialize this enum map
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if m is null

      • EnumMap

        public EnumMap(Map<K,? extends V> m)
        Creates an enum map initialized from the specified map. If the specified map is an EnumMap instance, this constructor behaves identically to EnumMap(EnumMap). Otherwise, the specified map must contain at least one mapping (in order to determine the new enum map's key type).
        Parameters:
        m - the map from which to initialize this enum map
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if m is not an EnumMap instance and contains no mappings
        NullPointerException - if m is null

    • Method Detail

      • size

        public int size()
        Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map.
        Specified by:
        size in interface  Map<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Overrides:
        size in class  AbstractMap<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Returns:
        the number of key-value mappings in this map

      • containsValue

        public boolean containsValue(Object value)
        Returns true if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value.
        Specified by:
        containsValue in interface  Map<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Overrides:
        containsValue in class  AbstractMap<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Parameters:
        value - the value whose presence in this map is to be tested
        Returns:
        true if this map maps one or more keys to this value

      • containsKey

        public boolean containsKey(Object key)
        Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.
        Specified by:
        containsKey in interface  Map<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Overrides:
        containsKey in class  AbstractMap<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Parameters:
        key - the key whose presence in this map is to be tested
        Returns:
        true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key

      • get

        public V get(Object key)
        Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key.

        More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key k to a value v such that (key == k), then this method returns v; otherwise it returns null. (There can be at most one such mapping.)

        A return value of null does not necessarily indicate that the map contains no mapping for the key; it's also possible that the map explicitly maps the key to null. The containsKey operation may be used to distinguish these two cases.

        Specified by:
        get in interface  Map<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Overrides:
        get in class  AbstractMap<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Parameters:
        key - the key whose associated value is to be returned
        Returns:
        the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key

      • put

        public V put(K key,
             V value)
        Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map. If the map previously contained a mapping for this key, the old value is replaced.
        Specified by:
        put in interface  Map<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Overrides:
        put in class  AbstractMap<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Parameters:
        key - the key with which the specified value is to be associated
        value - the value to be associated with the specified key
        Returns:
        the previous value associated with specified key, or null if there was no mapping for key. (A null return can also indicate that the map previously associated null with the specified key.)
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if the specified key is null

      • remove

        public V remove(Object key)
        Removes the mapping for this key from this map if present.
        Specified by:
        remove in interface  Map<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Overrides:
        remove in class  AbstractMap<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Parameters:
        key - the key whose mapping is to be removed from the map
        Returns:
        the previous value associated with specified key, or null if there was no entry for key. (A null return can also indicate that the map previously associated null with the specified key.)

      • putAll

        public void putAll(Map<? extends K,? extends V> m)
        Copies all of the mappings from the specified map to this map. These mappings will replace any mappings that this map had for any of the keys currently in the specified map.
        Specified by:
        putAll in interface  Map<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Overrides:
        putAll in class  AbstractMap<K extends Enum<K>,V>
        Parameters:
        m - the mappings to be stored in this map
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - the specified map is null, or if one or more keys in the specified map are null

      • clear

        public void clear()
        Removes all mappings from this map.

      • keySet

        public Set<K> keySet()
        Returns a Set view of the keys contained in this map. The returned set obeys the general contract outlined in Map.keySet(). The set's iterator will return the keys in their natural order (the order in which the enum constants are declared).
