Member Function Documentation

virtual Comparator::View comparator (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns the comparator used in sorting this map, or NULL if it is the keys' natural ordering.

Returns:
the sorting comparator

Implemented in TreeMap.

virtual Object::View firstKey (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns the first (lowest sorted) key in the map.

Returns:
the first key
Exceptions:
NoSuchElementException if this map is empty.

Implemented in TreeMap.

virtual Object::View lastKey (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns the last (highest sorted) key in the map.

Returns:
the last key
Exceptions:
NoSuchElementException if this map is empty.

Implemented in TreeMap.

virtual SortedMap::Handle headMap ( Object::View  vToKey  )  [pure virtual]

Returns a handle of the portion of the map strictly less than toKey.

The handle is backed by this map, so changes in one show up in the other. The sub-map supports all optional operations of the original.

Parameters:
vToKey the exclusive upper range of the sub-map
Returns:
the sub-map
Exceptions:
ClassCastException if toKey is not comparable to the map contents
IllegalArgumentException if this is a subMap, and toKey is out of range
NullPointerException if toKey is NULL but the map does not allow NULL keys

Implemented in TreeMap.

virtual SortedMap::View headMap ( Object::View  vToKey  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns a view of the portion of the map strictly less than toKey.

Parameters:
vToKey the exclusive upper range of the sub-map
Returns:
the sub-map
Exceptions:
ClassCastException if toKey is not comparable to the map contents
IllegalArgumentException if this is a subMap, and toKey is out of range
NullPointerException if toKey is NULL but the map does not allow NULL keys

Implemented in TreeMap.

virtual SortedMap::Handle subMap ( Object::View  vFromKey,
Object::View  vToKey 
) [pure virtual]

Returns a handle of the portion of the map greater than or equal to fromKey, and strictly less than toKey.

The handle is backed by this map, so changes in one show up in the other. The sub-map supports all optional operations of the original.

Parameters:
vFromKey the inclusive lower range of the sub-map
vToKey the exclusive upper range of the sub-map
Returns:
the sub-map
Exceptions:
ClassCastException if fromKey or toKey is not comparable to the map contents
IllegalArgumentException if this is a subMap, and fromKey or toKey is out of range
NullPointerException if fromKey or toKey is NULL but the map does not allow NULL keys

Implemented in TreeMap.

virtual SortedMap::View subMap ( Object::View  vFromKey,
Object::View  vToKey 
) const [pure virtual]

Returns a view of the portion of the map greater than or equal to fromKey, and strictly less than toKey.

Parameters:
vFromKey the inclusive lower range of the sub-map
vToKey the exclusive upper range of the sub-map
Returns:
the sub-map
Exceptions:
ClassCastException if fromKey or toKey is not comparable to the map contents
IllegalArgumentException if this is a subMap, and fromKey or toKey is out of range
NullPointerException if fromKey or toKey is NULL but the map does not allow NULL keys

Implemented in TreeMap.

virtual SortedMap::Handle tailMap ( Object::View  vFromKey  )  [pure virtual]

Returns a handle of the portion of the map greater than or equal to fromKey.

The handle is backed by this map, so changes in one show up in the other. The sub-map supports all optional operations of the original.

Parameters:
vFromKey the inclusive lower range of the sub-map
Returns:
the sub-map
Exceptions:
ClassCastException if fromKey is not comparable to the map contents
IllegalArgumentException if this is a subMap, and fromKey is out of range
NullPointerException if fromKey is NULL but the map does not allow NULL keys

Implemented in TreeMap.

virtual SortedMap::View tailMap ( Object::View  vFromKey  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns a view of the portion of the map greater than or equal to fromKey.

Parameters:
vFromKey the inclusive lower range of the sub-map
Returns:
the sub-map
Exceptions:
ClassCastException if fromKey is not comparable to the map contents
IllegalArgumentException if this is a subMap, and fromKey is out of range
NullPointerException if fromKey is NULL but the map does not allow NULL keys

Implemented in TreeMap.
