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
 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.

Creates an empty enum map with the specified key type.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
keyType | 
        
          Class: 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 | |

          EnumMap: 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(java.util.EnumMap).  Otherwise, the specified map
 must contain at least one mapping (in order to determine the new
 enum map's key type).
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
m | 
        
          Map: 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 | 
        
Public methods
clone
public EnumMap<K, V> clone ()
Returns a shallow copy of this enum map. The values themselves are not cloned.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
EnumMap<K, V> | 
        a shallow copy of this enum map | 
containsKey
public boolean containsKey (Object key)
Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified
 key.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
key | 
        
          Object: the key whose presence in this map is to be tested | 
      
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean | 
        true if this map contains a mapping for the specified
            key | 
      
containsValue
public boolean containsValue (Object value)
Returns true if this map maps one or more keys to the
 specified value.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
value | 
        
          Object: the value whose presence in this map is to be tested | 
      
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean | 
        true if this map maps one or more keys to this value | 
      
entrySet
public Set<Entry<K, V>> entrySet ()
Returns a Set view of the mappings contained in this map.
 The returned set obeys the general contract outlined in
 Map.keySet().  The set's iterator will return the
 mappings in the order their keys appear in map, which is their
 natural order (the order in which the enum constants are declared).
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Set<Entry<K, V>> | 
        a set view of the mappings contained in this enum map | 
equals
public boolean equals (Object o)
Compares the specified object with this map for equality.  Returns
 true if the given object is also a map and the two maps
 represent the same mappings, as specified in the Map.equals(java.lang.Object) contract.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
o | 
        
          Object: the object to be compared for equality with this map | 
      
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean | 
        true if the specified object is equal to this map | 
      
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.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
key | 
        
          Object: the key whose associated value is to be returned | 
      
| Returns | |
|---|---|
V | 
        the value to which the specified key is mapped, or
         null if this map contains no mapping for the key | 
      
hashCode
public int hashCode ()
Returns the hash code value for this map. The hash code of a map is defined to be the sum of the hash codes of each entry in the map.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
int | 
        the hash code value for 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).
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Set<K> | 
        a set view of the keys contained in this enum map | 
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.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
key | 
        
          K: the key with which the specified value is to be associated | 
      
value | 
        
          V: the value to be associated with the specified key | 
      
| Returns | |
|---|---|
V | 
        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 | 
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.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
m | 
        
          Map: 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 | 
remove
public V remove (Object key)
Removes the mapping for this key from this map if present.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
key | 
        
          Object: the key whose mapping is to be removed from the map | 
      
| Returns | |
|---|---|
V | 
        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.) | 
      
size
public int size ()
Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
int | 
        the number of key-value mappings in this map | 
values
public Collection<V> values ()
Returns a Collection view of the values contained in this map.
 The returned collection obeys the general contract outlined in
 Map.values().  The collection's iterator will return the
 values in the order their corresponding keys appear in map,
 which is their natural order (the order in which the enum constants
 are declared).
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Collection<V> | 
        a collection view of the values contained in this map |
