Class IntegerArrayDiscriminator

java.lang.Object
  org.planx.msd.util.AbstractDiscriminator<int[]>
      org.planx.msd.array.IntegerArrayDiscriminator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Discriminator<int[]>

public class IntegerArrayDiscriminator
extends AbstractDiscriminator<int[]>

A Discriminator capable of discriminating a multiset of intarrays.

Note that this implementation is not synchronized. If multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, it must be synchronized externally.

Constructor Summary

IntegerArrayDiscriminator(Memory memory)
Creates a new IntegerArrayDiscriminator able to discriminate a multiset of int arrays.

Method Summary

<U,S> Collection<List<S>>

discriminate(List<? extends U> values, Extractor<U,? extends int[],S> e) Discriminates a List of values using an Extractor, and returns a Collection of Lists, each representing an equivalence class containing elements from values that are equivalent.

Description copied from interface: Discriminator

Discriminates a List of values using an Extractor, and returns a Collection of Lists, each representing an equivalence class containing elements from values that are equivalent. The Extractor performs the task of extracting two kinds of objects from the input values: The label which is the object equivalence is defined upon, and the value which is the object that will be returned. That is, the label determines which equivalence class the value goes into.

The Collection of Lists returned should be considered unmodifiable (though, in some cases they might actually be modifiable, but this behaviour should not be relied upon).
