public class SingleGroupedTuples

extends AbstractTuples

Represents a set of grouped tuples and provides methods to manage them. Each tuple is represented by an instance of a class that implements the Tuple interface.

This implementation supports the grouping of tuples as defined by the methods Tuples.getNumberOfGroups() and Tuples.getTuplesByGroup(int). Every single tuple is generally contained inside it's own group.

Constructor Detail

SingleGroupedTuples

public SingleGroupedTuples()

Creates a new and empty set of tuples.

SingleGroupedTuples

public SingleGroupedTuples(Tuple t)

Creates a new and empty set of tuples with a given initial tuple.

Parameters:

t - The initial tuple.

SingleGroupedTuples

public SingleGroupedTuples(int initialCapacity)

Creates a new and empty set of tuples with a given initial capacity.

Parameters:

initialCapacity - The initial capacity.

SingleGroupedTuples

public SingleGroupedTuples(Collection c)

Creates a new set of tuples and initializes it with a given set of tuples.

Parameters:

c - The set of tuples to initialize the new tuple set.

Method Detail

getNumberOfGroups

public int getNumberOfGroups()

Returns the number of tuple groups. That's the number of tuples in this implementation.

Specified by:

getNumberOfGroups in interface Tuples

Overrides:

getNumberOfGroups in class AbstractTuples

Returns:

The number of tuple groups.

getTuplesByGroup

public Tuples getTuplesByGroup(int groupIndex)

Returns all tuples of a certain tuple groups, that is specified by it's numerical index. The returned tuples are returned using a class that implements the Tuples interface as well.

Specified by:

getTuplesByGroup in interface Tuples

Overrides:

getTuplesByGroup in class AbstractTuples

Parameters:

groupIndex - The group's index.

Returns:

The tuples of the tuple group index.

Throws:

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if this tuple group does not exist, see getNumberOfGroups().

clone

public Object clone()

Clones this tuple set and returns a new instance containing the same tuples.

Returns:

A clone of this tuple set.
