Class AlignmentTools.IdentityMap<K>

java.lang.Object

java.util.AbstractMap<K,K>

org.biojava.nbio.structure.align.util.AlignmentTools.IdentityMap<K>

Type Parameters:

K -

All Implemented Interfaces:

Map<K,K>

Enclosing class:

AlignmentTools

public static class AlignmentTools.IdentityMap<K>
extends AbstractMap<K,K>

A Map can be viewed as a function from K to V. This class represents the identity function. Getting a value results in the value itself.

The class is a bit inconsistent when representing its contents. On the one hand, containsKey(key) is true for all objects. However, attempting to iterate through the values returns an empty set.
