The TQIntDict class is a template class that provides a dictionary based on long keys. More...
#include <tqintdict.h>
Inherits TQPtrCollection.
TQMap is an STL-compatible alternative to this class.
TQIntDict is implemented as a template class. Define a template instance TQIntDict<X> to create a dictionary that operates on pointers to X (X*).
A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. The key is an long used for insertion, removal and lookup. The value is a pointer. Dictionaries provide very fast insertion and lookup.
Example:
TQIntDict<TQLineEdit> fields; // long int keys, TQLineEdit* values
for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
fields.insert( i, new TQLineEdit( this ) );
fields[0]->setText( "Homer" );
fields[1]->setText( "Simpson" );
fields[2]->setText( "45" );
TQIntDictIterator<TQLineEdit> it( fields );
for ( ; it.current(); ++it )
cout << it.currentKey() << ": " << it.current()->text() << endl;
for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
cout << fields[i]->text() << " "; // Prints "Homer Simpson 45"
cout << endl;
fields.remove( 1 ); // Does not delete the line edit
for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
if ( fields[i] )
cout << fields[i]->text() << " "; // Prints "Homer 45"
See TQDict for full details, including the choice of dictionary size, and how deletions are handled.

Constructs a dictionary using an internal hash array of size size.
Setting size to a suitably large prime number (equal to or greater than the expected number of entries) makes the hash distribution better which leads to faster lookup.
Constructs a copy of dict.
Each item in dict is inserted into this dictionary. Only the pointers are copied (shallow copy).
Removes all items from the dictionary and destroys it.
All iterators that access this dictionary will be reset.
See also setAutoDelete().
Returns the setting of the auto-delete option. The default is FALSE.
See also setAutoDelete().
Removes all items from the dictionary.
The removed items are deleted if auto-deletion is enabled.
All dictionary iterators that access this dictionary will be reset.
See also remove(), take(), and setAutoDelete().
Reimplemented from TQPtrCollection.
Returns the number of items in the dictionary.
See also isEmpty().
Reimplemented from TQPtrCollection.
Returns the item associated with key, or 0 if the key does not exist in the dictionary.
If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be found.
Equivalent to operator[].
See also operator[]().
Example: table/bigtable/main.cpp.
Insert item item into the dictionary using key key.
Multiple items can have the same key, in which case only the last item will be accessible using operator[]().
item may not be 0.
See also replace().
Example: scribble/scribble.cpp.
Returns TRUE if the dictionary is empty; otherwise returns FALSE.
See also count().
Assigns dict to this dictionary and returns a reference to this dictionary.
This dictionary is first cleared and then each item in dict is inserted into this dictionary. Only the pointers are copied (shallow copy), unless newItem() has been reimplemented.
Returns the item associated with key, or 0 if the key does not exist in the dictionary.
If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be found.
Equivalent to the find() function.
See also find().
Reads a dictionary item from the stream s and returns a reference to the stream.
The default implementation sets item to 0.
See also write().
Removes the item associated with key from the dictionary. Returns TRUE if successful, i.e. if the key is in the dictionary; otherwise returns FALSE.
If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be removed.
The removed item is deleted if auto-deletion is enabled.
All dictionary iterators that refer to the removed item will be set to point to the next item in the dictionary's traversal order.
See also take(), clear(), and setAutoDelete().
Example: table/bigtable/main.cpp.
If the dictionary has key key, this key's item is replaced with item. If the dictionary doesn't contain key key, item is inserted into the dictionary using key key.
item may not be 0.
Equivalent to:
TQIntDict<char> dict;
// ...
if ( dict.find(key) )
dict.remove( key );
dict.insert( key, item );
If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be replaced.
See also insert().
Example: table/bigtable/main.cpp.
Changes the size of the hashtable to newsize. The contents of the dictionary are preserved, but all iterators on the dictionary become invalid.
Sets the collection to auto-delete its contents if enable is TRUE and to never delete them if enable is FALSE.
If auto-deleting is turned on, all the items in a collection are deleted when the collection itself is deleted. This is convenient if the collection has the only pointer to the items.
The default setting is FALSE, for safety. If you turn it on, be careful about copying the collection - you might find yourself with two collections deleting the same items.
Note that the auto-delete setting may also affect other functions in subclasses. For example, a subclass that has a remove() function will remove the item from its data structure, and if auto-delete is enabled, will also delete the item.
See also autoDelete().
Examples: scribble/scribble.cpp and table/bigtable/main.cpp.
Returns the size of the internal hash array (as specified in the constructor).
See also count().
Debugging-only function that prints out the dictionary distribution using tqDebug().
Takes the item associated with key out of the dictionary without deleting it (even if auto-deletion is enabled).
If there are two or more items with equal keys, then the most recently inserted item will be taken.
Returns a pointer to the item taken out, or 0 if the key does not exist in the dictionary.
All dictionary iterators that refer to the taken item will be set to point to the next item in the dictionary's traversing order.
See also remove(), clear(), and setAutoDelete().
Example: table/bigtable/main.cpp.
Writes a dictionary item to the stream s and returns a reference to the stream.
See also read().
