1 Symbol Tables From “Algorithms” (4 th Ed.) by R. Sedgewick and K. Wayne

2 ・ Given a key, search for the corresponding value. ・ Given domain name, find corresponding IP address. Symbol tables Key-value pair abstraction. ・ Insert a value with specified key. Ex. DNS lookup. ・ Insert domain name with specified IP address. domain name IP address www.cs.princeton.eduwww.cs.princeton.edu 128.112.136.11 www.princeton.eduwww.princeton.edu 128.112.128.15 www.yale.eduwww.yale.edu 130.132.143.21 www.harvard.eduwww.harvard.edu 128.103.060.55 www.simpsons.comwww.simpsons.com 209.052.165.60 key value

5 ・ Method get() returns null if key not present. Conventions ・ Values are not null. ・ Method put() overwrites old value with new value. Intended consequences. ・ Easy to implement contains(). public boolean contains(Key key) { return get(key) != null; } ・ Can implement lazy version of delete(). public void delete(Key key) { put(key, null); }

6 ・ Assume keys areareanygenerictype,use equals() totestequality. ・ Mutable in Java: StringBuilder, java.net.URL, arrays,... Keys and values Value type. Any generic type. specify Comparable in API. Key type: several natural assumptions. ・ Assume keys are Comparable, use compareTo(). ・ Assume keys are any generic type, use equals() to test equality; use hashCode() to scramble key. built-in to Java Best practices. Use immutable types for symbol table keys. ・ Immutable in Java: Integer, Double, String, java.io.File, …

7 ・ Symmetric: ・ Non-null: x.equals(y) iff y.equals(x). x.equals(null) is false. Equality test All Java classes inherit a method equals(). Java requirements. For any references x, y and z : ・ Reflexive: x.equals(x) is true. ・ Transitive: if x.equals(y) and y.equals(z), then x.equals(z). do x and y refer to the same object? Default implementation. (x == y) Customized implementations. Integer, Double, String, java.io.File, … User-defined implementations. Some care needed.

8 (would violate symmetry) private final int year; return false; if (this.month != that.month) return false; Implementing equals for user-defined types Seems easy, but requires some care. typically unsafe to use equals() with inheritance public final class Date implements Comparable { private final int month; private final int day;... public boolean equals(Object y) { if (y == this) return true; if (y == null) return false; if (y.getClass() != this.getClass()) Date that = (Date) y; if (this.day != that.day ) return false; if (this.year != that.year ) return false; return true; }

9 ・ Check against null. ・ Compare eachsignificantfield: or Arrays.deepEquals(a, b), ・ Compare fields mostly likely todiffer first. Equals design "Standard" recipe for user-defined types. ・ Optimization for reference equality. ・ Check that two objects are of the same type and cast. – if field is a primitive type, use == – if field is an object, use equals() apply rule recursively – if field is an array, apply to each entry alternatively, use Arrays.equals(a, b) but not a.equals(b) Best practices. ・ No need to use calculated fields that depend on other fields. ・ Make compareTo() consistent with equals(). x.equals(y) if and only if (x.compareTo(y) == 0)
