Interface Char2CharMap.FastEntrySet

All Superinterfaces:

Collection<Char2CharMap.Entry>, Iterable<Char2CharMap.Entry>, ObjectCollection<Char2CharMap.Entry>, ObjectIterable<Char2CharMap.Entry>, ObjectSet<Char2CharMap.Entry>, Set<Char2CharMap.Entry>

All Known Subinterfaces:

Char2CharSortedMap.FastSortedEntrySet

Enclosing interface:

Char2CharMap

public static interface Char2CharMap.FastEntrySet
extends ObjectSet<Char2CharMap.Entry>

An entry set providing fast iteration.

In some cases (e.g., hash-based classes) iteration over an entry set requires the creation of a large number of Map.Entry objects. Some fastutil maps might return entry set objects of type FastEntrySet: in this case, fastIterator() will return an iterator that is guaranteed not to create a large number of objects, possibly by returning always the same entry (of course, mutated).
