Package algs35

Class ST<K extends Comparable<? super K>,V>

java.lang.Object

algs35.ST<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<K>

public class ST<K extends Comparable<? super K>,V>
extends Object
implements Iterable<K>

This class represents an ordered symbol table. It assumes that the keys are Comparable. It supports the usual put, get, contains, and remove methods. It also provides ordered methods for finding the minimum, maximum, floor, and ceiling.

The class implements the associative array abstraction: when associating a value with a key that is already in the table, the convention is to replace the old value with the new value. The class also uses the convention that values cannot be null. Setting the value associated with a key to null is equivalent to removing the key.

This class implements the Iterable interface for compatiblity with the version from Introduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach.

This implementation uses a balanced binary search tree. The put, contains, remove, minimum, maximum, ceiling, and floor methods take logarithmic time.

Constructor Details

ST

public ST()

Create an empty symbol table.

Method Details

put

public void put(K key,
 V val)

Put key-value pair into the symbol table. Remove key from table if value is null.

get

public V get(K key)

Return the value paired with given key; null if key is not in table.

delete

public V delete(K key)

Delete the key (and paired value) from table. Return the value paired with given key; null if key is not in table.

contains

public boolean contains(K key)

Is the key in the table?

size

public int size()

How many keys are in the table?

keys

public Iterable<K> keys()

Return an Iterable for the keys in the table. To iterate over all of the keys in the symbol table st, use the foreach notation: for (K key : st.keys()).

iterator

public Iterator<K> iterator()

Return an Iterator for the keys in the table. To iterate over all of the keys in the symbol table st, use the foreach notation: for (K key : st). This method is for backward compatibility with the version from Introduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach.

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<K extends Comparable<? super K>>

min

public K min()

Return the smallest key in the table.

max

public K max()

Return the largest key in the table.

ceil

public K ceil(K k)

Return the smallest key in the table >= k.

floor

public K floor(K k)

Return the largest key in the table <= k.

main

public static void main(String[] args)
