Remarks

An sorted dictionary that allows multiple values to be associated with a single key. Note: both keys and values must be comparable.

An article about the BList classes is available.

Often when people want to be able to associate multiple values with a single key, they use a Dictionary with values of type List{T}. This approach is very inefficient (in terms of memory use) if most keys are only associated with one or two values; this class solves the problem using a single sorted B+ tree for all keys and all values. It requires, however, that both the keys and values are totally ordered (i.e. are sortable).

By default, keys and values are sorted using Comparer{T}.Default. This will work provided that the keys and values both implement the IComparable{T} interface. If they don't, you can pass custom comparison functions to the constructor instead (one comparison function for keys, and a second one for values).

Since it is derived from BList{T}, this class enjoys the space efficiency of a B+ tree and capabilities of a AListBase{K,V}, although it tends to be slower than Dictionary{K,V}.

Member Function Documentation

bool Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.AddIfUnique	(	K	key,
		V	value
	)

inline

Adds a key-value pair if there is not already a pair that compares equal to the new one.

Returns: True if the pair was added, or false if it already existed.

bool Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.ContainsKey ( K key )

inline

Finds out whether the specified key is present.

Parameters

key	Key to search for

Returns: Returns true if the dictionary contains at least one key- value pair in which the key compares equal to the specified key.

int Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.FindLowerBound ( K key )

inline

Finds the lowest index of an item that is equal to or greater than the specified item.

Parameters

key	The key to find.
value	The first value associated with the specified key, if the key was found, or default(V) if not.
found	Set to true if the item was found, false if not.

Returns: The index of the item that was found, or of the next greater item, or Count if the given key is greater than the keys of all items in the list.

int Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.FindLowerBoundExact	(	ref K	key,
		out V	value,
		out bool	found
	)

inline

Does the same thing as IndexOfExact, but with the same set of arguments as FindLowerBound including the value associated with the matching key.

Returns: Lowest index of a matching item if found, or the same return value as FindLowerBound if not found.

int Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.FindUpperBound ( K key )

inline

Finds the index of the first item in the list whose key is greater than the specified key.

Parameters

key	The key to find. If passed by reference, when this method returns, item is set to the next greater item than the item you searched for, or left unchanged if there is no greater item.
index	The index of the next greater item that was found, or Count if the given item is greater than all items in the list.

Returns

int Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.FirstIndexOf ( K key )

inline

Finds the lowest index of an item with the specified key.

Parameters

key	Key to search for

Returns: The index of the item that was found, or -1 if there is no such item.

This method is like FindLowerBound except that it returns -1 if the key was not found.

int Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.IndexOfExact ( K key )

inline

Specialized search function that finds the first index of an item whose key compares equal to the specified key, not only according to the comparison function for this collection, but also according to Object.Equals. This function works properly even if duplicate keys exist in addition that do NOT compare equal according to Object.Equals.

This method is useful when the items in this collection are sorted by hashcode (which is usually a bad idea, but occasionally useful).

int Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.Remove	(	K	key,
		int	maxToRemove
	)

inline

Removes up to a specified number of items from the collections that have the specified key.

Parameters

key	The key to remove.
maxToRemove	Maximum number of items to remove.

Returns: The number of items removed.

int Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.RemoveAll ( K key )

inline

Removes all the items from the collection whose key compares equal to the specified key.

Parameters

key	The key to remove.

Returns: The number of items removed.

References Loyc.Collections.Remove.

bool Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.RemoveAny ( K key )

inline

Removes one pair from the collection that matches the specified key.

Returns: True if a pair was removed, or false if the key was not found.

bool Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.TryGetValue	(	K	key,
		out V	value
	)

inline

Finds a value associated with the specified key.

Parameters

key	Key to find
value	Set to the first (lowest) value associated with the key, or default(V) if the key was not found.

Returns: True if the key was found, false if not.

            if (c != 0)

Property Documentation

ValueList Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.this[K key]

get

Gets a collection associated with the specified key.

Parameters

key

Returns: A synthetic collection associated with the specified key.

This property always succeeds and does not actually search for the key you requested. It returns an object that represents the set of values associated with a key, but those values are not actually retrieved from the collection until you enumerate the collection.

See also: ValueList

IEnumerable<ValueList> Loyc.Collections.BMultiMap< K, V >.Values

get

Gets a list of collections of ValueList in this object.
