All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class SparseVector
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
A sparse vector, implemented using a symbol table. Derived from http://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/java/44st/SparseVector.java.html For additional documentation, see Section 4.4 of Introduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.
