Interface TDoubleFloatIterator

All Superinterfaces:
TAdvancingIterator, TIterator

public interface TDoubleFloatIterator
extends TAdvancingIterator

Iterator for maps of type double and float.

The iterator semantics for Trove's primitive maps is slightly different from those defined in java.util.Iterator, but still well within the scope of the pattern, as defined by Gamma, et al.

This iterator does not implicitly advance to the next entry when the value at the current position is retrieved. Rather, you must explicitly ask the iterator to advance() and then retrieve either the key(), the value() or both. This is done so that you have the option, but not the obligation, to retrieve keys and/or values as your application requires, and without introducing wrapper objects that would carry both. As the iteration is stateful, access to the key/value parts of the current map entry happens in constant time.

In practice, the iterator is akin to a "search finger" that you move from position to position. Read or write operations affect the current entry only and do not assume responsibility for moving the finger.

Here are some sample scenarios for this class of iterator:

 // accessing keys/values through an iterator:
 for ( TDoubleFloatIterator it = map.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
   it.advance();
   if ( satisfiesCondition( it.key() ) {
     doSomethingWithValue( it.value() );
   }
 }
 
 // modifying values in-place through iteration:
 for ( TDoubleFloatIterator it = map.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
   it.advance();
   if ( satisfiesCondition( it.key() ) {
     it.setValue( newValueForKey( it.key() ) );
   }
 }
 
 // deleting entries during iteration:
 for ( TDoubleFloatIterator it = map.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
   it.advance();
   if ( satisfiesCondition( it.key() ) {
     it.remove();
   }
 }
 
 // faster iteration by avoiding hasNext():
 TDoubleFloatIterator iterator = map.iterator();
 for ( int i = map.size(); i-- > 0; ) {
   iterator.advance();
   doSomethingWithKeyAndValue( iterator.key(), iterator.value() );
 }

Method Detail

key

double key()
Provides access to the key of the mapping at the iterator's position. Note that you must advance() the iterator at least once before invoking this method.

Returns:
the key of the entry at the iterator's current position.

value

float value()
Provides access to the value of the mapping at the iterator's position. Note that you must advance() the iterator at least once before invoking this method.

Returns:
the value of the entry at the iterator's current position.

setValue

float setValue(float val)
Replace the value of the mapping at the iterator's position with the specified value. Note that you must advance() the iterator at least once before invoking this method.

Parameters:
val - the value to set in the current entry
Returns:
the old value of the entry.
