Package org.carrot2.util

Class MutableCharArray

java.lang.Object

org.carrot2.util.MutableCharArray

All Implemented Interfaces:

CharSequence, Cloneable

public final class MutableCharArray
extends Object
implements CharSequence, Cloneable

Implements CharSequence over a mutable char[] buffer.

This class implements proper content-based hashCode() and equals(Object) against other MutableCharArray objects, assuming the underlying character buffers does not change. In case the buffers is changed, the resulting behavior is unpredictable.

Constructor Summary

MutableCharArray(char[] buffer, int start, int length)	Resets the internal buffer to use the provided argument.
MutableCharArray(CharSequence seq)	Creates a MutableCharArray from another CharSequence, creates a new buffer to store characters.

Constructor Detail

MutableCharArray

public MutableCharArray()

Creates an empty MutableCharArray.

MutableCharArray

public MutableCharArray(CharSequence seq)

Creates a MutableCharArray from another CharSequence, creates a new buffer to store characters.

MutableCharArray

public MutableCharArray(char[] buffer)

Resets the internal buffer to use the provided argument.

See Also:

reset(char[])

MutableCharArray

public MutableCharArray(char[] buffer,
                        int start,
                        int length)

Resets the internal buffer to use the provided argument.

See Also:

reset(char[])

Method Detail

reset

public void reset(CharSequence seq)

Resets internal buffers in this object to represent another character sequence. See class header notes for side-effects on equals(Object) and hashCode().

reset

public void reset(char[] buffer)

Resets internal buffers in this object to point to another character buffer. See class header notes for side-effects on equals(Object) and hashCode().

reset

public void reset(char[] buffer,
                  int start,
                  int length)

Resets internal buffers in this object to point to another character buffer. See class header notes for side-effects on equals(Object) and hashCode().

getBuffer

public char[] getBuffer()

Returns:

Returns the internal buffer currently used to store the content of this char sequence.

getStart

public int getStart()

Returns:

the offset at which the data currently starts in the buffer.

See Also:

getBuffer(), length

charAt

public final char charAt(int index)

Specified by:

charAt in interface CharSequence

length

public int length()

Specified by:

length in interface CharSequence

subSequence

public MutableCharArray subSequence(int start,
                                    int end)

Specified by:

subSequence in interface CharSequence

toString

public String toString()

Specified by:

toString in interface CharSequence

Overrides:

toString in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

See comments in the header of this class.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

See comments in the header of this class.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public static final int hashCode(char[] buffer,
                                 int start,
                                 int length)

Calculates a hash code for a given portion of the character buffer. The returned value is identical to what be returned from hashCode() if a wrapper MutableCharArray were created.

clone

public MutableCharArray clone()

Overrides:

clone in class Object

toArray

public char[] toArray()
